The standard measurement for frame strength is a term known as "RBM" (Resistance to Bending Movement). The RBM is the yield strength of the frame material multiplied by the section modules of the frame rail. A typical yield strength of steel used in commercial truck chassis is 50,000 psi, and the section modules per frame is 13.3 to 13.4 inches cubed. Therefore, the RBM per rail is approximately 670,000 inch-pounds, with the RBM of the entire chassis frame (both rails) being double that, or 1,340,000 pounds. 4, record 1, English, - resistance%20to%20bending%20moment

Furthermore, a single frame in lieu of old double frames, such as those found in older dump trucks, saves 300-500 lb. in tare weight but still provides strong resistance to bending movement in the frame, which is essential when operating in a severe construction environment. 6, record 1, English, - resistance%20to%20bending%20moment
