Abstract
This paper focuses on the regulation of forces in a statically indeterminate system under the action of many loads. This regulation is realized by prestressing. The paper compares two proposed methods for selecting rational values of the prestressing parameters: maximizing the minimum bearing capacity margin for the elements of the system (1) and equalizing the margins for all elements (2). An illustrative example is provided.
