Design
NSCP 2015 (ASD & LRFD)
Design Philosophies
❑ Allowable Strength Design (ASD) – a member is
selected based on either area or moment of inertia that are
large enough to prevent the maximum load from exceeding
an allowable value.
❑ Plastic Design – based on a consideration of failure
conditions rather than working load conditions. A member is
selected base on the criterion that the structure will fail at a
load substantially higher than the working or service load.
❑ Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) – Similar to
plastic design were factored loads are applied. In addition,
the theoretical strength of the member is reduced by the
application of a resistance factor. 2
ASD vs. LRFD
Allowable Stress Design LRFD
1. Apply service loads to structure 1. Apply factored loads to structure

2. Evaluate forces and stress using 2. Evaluate sectional demand using


linear materials linear or yielded materials

3. Design: 3. Design:
Allowable stress > Maximum stress Factored capacity > Factored forces

Example
A building composed of structural steel elements is
designed with diagonal bracing system to resist lateral
loads. Part of the bracings at the mid-height is
subjected to the following loads: dead load = 60kN,
occupancy live load = 30kN, roof live load = 6kN, wind
load = 670kN and earthquake load = 720kN.
• Which load combination governs for LRFD?
• Determine the required nominal load capacity for
LRFD if reduction factor is 0.9.
• Which load combination governs for ASD?
• Determine the required ASD nominal load capacity if
safety factor is 1.67. 10
