Topics to be covered
 Design Considerations
 Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
 Design process
 Design Philosophies
 A general statement assuming safety in engineering design is:
Resistance ≥ Effect of applied loads ---(1)
In eq.(1) it is essential that both sides are evaluated for
same conditions and units e.g. compressive stress on soil
should be compared with bearing capacity of soil
 Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
 To overcome the deficiencies of ASD, the LRFD method is based on:
Strength of Materials
 It consider the variability not only in resistance but also in the
effects of load.
 It provides measure of safety related to probability of failure.
 Load and Resistance Factor Design
(LRFD)
 Safety in the design is obtained by specifying that the reduced Nominal
Strength of a designed structure is less than the effect of factored loads
acting on the structure

 Rn  n  Qi

Rn = Resistance or Strength of the component being designed

Qi = Effect of Applied Loads
n = Takes into account ductility, redundancy and operational impact.
Φ = Resistance Factor or Strength Reduction Factor
 = Overload or Load Factors

= Factor of Safety

Tension Members
∅ = 0.90 For yielding limit state.
∅ = 0.75 For fracture limit state.

Compression Members
∅ = 0.85

Beams
∅ = 0.90 For flexure.
∅ = 0.90 For Shear.
Welds
Same as for type of action. i.e. tension, shear etc…….
Bolt
∅ = 0.75
