EB 3-1 specifies an ollutable stress range of ?.4 Sm for all materials (El.b (1).(a)).

further, for postulation of tre4Ls, PB 3-1 allows calculated equation (10) stre',ses to eneed ?.4 5,,, pro.'ided, they are less than 3.0 h and if the COI is less thbn 0.1.

If greater than 3.0 Se, stresses calculated by.
