Cover Story: The present paper introduces a powerful method for developing lightweight structures and enhancing the load-bearing capacity of common structures. The method, referred to as the ‘method of aggregation’, has been derived from the reverse engineering of sub-additive and super-additive algebraic inequalities. The essence of the proposed method is the consolidation of multiple elements loaded in bending into a reduced number of elements with larger cross-sections but a smaller total volume of material. This procedure results in a large reduction in material usage. This paper also demonstrates that consolidating multiple elements loaded in bending into a reduced number of elements with larger cross-sections but the same total volume of material leads to a large increase in the load-bearing capacity of the structure. View this paper
