We study one-dimensional structures like arch-beams in the limit state of plastic collapse, on the ground of a two-dimensional yielding surface (bending moment and normal generalized stress). The proposed method, which is able to give a numerical solution of the problem of finding the limit load, rests on the upper bound theorem of limit analysis and uses dynamic programming. We examine also some questions linked with numerical procedures. A future work devoted to applications will complete the treatment.
