Part A
Answer all questions. Support your answers with neat sketches wherever necessary.
1. What are the main features of te philosophy of the Limit States Method of design
(LSM)? [U 87]

LSM aims for a comprehensive and rational solution to the design problem, by
considering safety at ultimate loads and serviceability at working loads.

The LSM philosophy uses a multiple safety factor format which attempts to pro-
vide adequate safety at ultimate loads as well as adequate serviceability at ser-
vice loads, by considering all possible ‘limit states’.

2. Define ’limit state’. [U 87]

A limit state is a state of impending failure, beyond which a structure ceases to

perform its intended function satisfactorily, in terms of either safety or service-
ability; i.e., it either collapses or becomes unserviceable.

3. Which are the two types of limit states? [U 87]

Ultimate limit states (or ‘limit states of collapse’), which deal with strength, over-
turning, sliding, buckling, fatigue fracture, etc. 2. Serviceability limit states,
which deal with discomfort to occupancy and/or malfunction, caused by exces-
sive deflection, crack-width, vibration, leakage, etc., and also loss of durability,
etc.

4. Discuss the term Multiple safety factors? [U 87, 88-89]

The objective of limit states design is to ensure that the probability of any limit
state being reached is acceptably low. This is made possible by specifying appro-
priate multiple safety factors for each limit state (Level I reliability).

The multiple safety factor format recommended by CEB FIP, and adopted by the
Code, is the so-called partial safety factor format, which may be expressed as
follows: Rd ≥ Sd where Rd is the design resistance computed using the reduced
material strengths 0.67 f ck /γc and f y /γs , involving two separate partial (material)
saety factors,

to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs.

9. What do you mean by the terms "structural analysis’ and ’structural design’. Ex-
plain.?

Over the past twenty years, the study of industrial organization—the analysis
of imperfectly competitive markets—has grown from a niche area of microeco-
nomics to a key component of economics.

These elements are connected by using rivets bolts pins or welds to form the struc-
ture. The connections so formed are called joints.
