What is the purpose of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) in structural steel design?
What is the purpose of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) in structural steel design?
To ensure a higher level of safety by factoring in uncertainties in loads and material strengths
Explain the concept of Allowable Strength Design (ASD) in steel design.
Explain the concept of Allowable Strength Design (ASD) in steel design.
ASD is based on limiting stresses to a fraction of the material's yield strength to ensure structural safety.
