A bucking analysis of the bridge section reveals that the vertical truss members can safely support a maximum of 525 kN in compression, the horizontal truss members can safely support a maximum of 310 kN in compression, and the diagonal truss members can safely support a maximum of 170 kN in compression. What is the largest value of L for which no safety requirement will be violated?
