Working Stress Method (WSM)


 Also termed as allowable stress method (or Working stress method),
is a conventional method of design based on the elastic properties of
steel.
 The elastic design does not take into account the strength of the
material beyond the elastic stress.
The stresses due to working loads do not exceed the specified
allowable stresses, which is obtained by applying an adequate factor of
safety to the yield stress of steel.
Therefore the structure designed according to this method will be
heavier than that designed by plastic methods.

Ultimate Load Method (ULM)


 also known as method of load factor design or ultimate load design.
 the ultimate load rather than the yield stress is regarded as the design
criterion.
The strength of steel beyond the yield stress is fully utilized in this
method.
This method is rapid and provides a rational approach for the analysis
of the structure.
This method also provides striking economy as regards the weight of
steel, since the sections designed by this method are smaller in size
than those designed by the method of elastic design.

Limit State Method (LSM)


 Takes into account the ultimate strength of the structure and also
checks for serviceability requirements.
 consider the probable maximum load and the probable minimum
strength.

combination of loads.
Strength (yield, buckling, collapse as a mechanism)
Stability against overturning and sway.
Fracture due to fatigue.
Plastic collapse.

II. Limit State of Serviceability.


Deflection, vibration, durability, corrosion, fire, repairable damage

Partial factor of safety


 The factor used in the design of the structure so that the value of
stresses coming on the structure due to applied load does not exceed
the design strength of the materials used in the structure.
