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.

I. Limit State of Strength - associated with failures under unfavourable
combination of loads. Strength (yield, buckling, collapse as a mechanism) Stability against overturning and sway. Fracture due to fatigue. Plastic collapse.

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.
