A. Allowable stress design
B. working stress design (for concrete)
C. final stress design


What is meant be the design of structures?
Is it an arbitrary or scientific technique?
How to design a structural technique?
Parameters involved in the design?
What is meant by demand on structural technique & what is capacity of a structure?
Is demand related to capacity?

What are the requirements of steel design?

Topics to be studied & ideas to be learned

Demands: Snow, earthquake, live load etc.
Limit state:

A condition beyond which a structural technique or a structural part ceases to fulfill the funtion for which it is designed.
Examples of limit states :

A. Deflection
B. Fatigue
C. Shear
D. Buckling
E. Bearing
F. Cracking
G. Flexure
H. Torsion
I. Settlement
J. Stability

Strength limit states :
A. Flexure
B. Shear
C. Torsion

Serviceability limit states :
A. Cracking
B. Excessive deflection
