dc.descriptionWe construct an explicit semifree model for the fiber join of two fibrations p: E --> B and p': E' --> B from semifree models of p and p'. Using this model, we introduce a lower bound of the sectional category of a fibration p which can be calculated from any Sullivan model of p and which is closer to the sectional category of p than the classical cohomological lower bound given by the nilpotency of the kernel of p^*: H^*(B;Q) --> H^*(E;Q). In the special case of the evaluation fibration X^I --> X x X we obtain a computable lower bound of Farber's topological complexity TC(X). We show that the difference between this lower bound and the classical cohomological lower bound can be arbitrarily large.
