ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN (ASD)
 Stresses caused by the characteristic loads must be less than
an “allowable stress”, which is a fraction of the yield strength
 Allowable stress may be defined in terms of a “factor of
safety" which represents a margin for overload and other
unknown factors which could be tolerated by the structure
10

Factor of Safety
≤
Allowable stress = (Yield stress) / (Factor of safety)
Limitations
 Material non-linearity
 Non-linear behaviour in the postbuckled state and the
property of steel to tolerate high stresses by yielding
locally and redistributing the loads not accounted for.
 No allowance for redistribution of loads in statically
indeterminate members
11
ALLOWABLE SRESS DESIGN (ASD)
LIMIT STATES DESIGN
 “Limit States" are various conditions in which a structure would
be considered to have failed to fulfil the purpose for which it
was built.
 “Ultimate Limit States” are those catastrophic states,which
require a larger reliability in order to reduce the probability of
its occurrence to a very low level.
 “Serviceability Limit State" refers to the limits on acceptable
performance of the structure during service.
12
GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF
LIMIT STATES DESIGN
 Structure to be designed for the Limit States at which they
would become unfit for their intended purpose by
choosing, appropriate partial safety factors, based on
probabilistic methods.
 Two partial safety factors, one applied to loading (γf) and
another to the material strength (γm) shall be employed.
13
 γf allows for;
 Possible deviation of the actual behaviour of the structure
from the analysis model
 Deviation of loads from specified values and
 Reduced probability that the various loads acting together
will simultaneously reach the characteristic value.
14

∀ γm takes account;
– Possible deviation of the material in the structure from that
assumed in design
– Possible reduction in the strength of the material from its
characteristic value
– Manufacturing tolerances.
– Mode of failure (ductile or brittle)

5.1 BASIS FOR DESIGN
 the structure shall be designed to withstand safely all loads likely
to act on it throughout its life.
 It shall also satisfy the serviceability requirements, such as
limitations of deflection and vibration.
 It shall not suffer total collapse under accidental loads such as
from explosions or impact or due to consequences of human
error to an extent beyond the local damages.
 The objective of design is to achieve a structure that will remain
fit for use during its life with an acceptable target reliability.
17
5.1.3
The potential for catastrophic damage shall be limited or
avoided by appropriate choice of one or more of the
following:
 i) avoiding, eliminating or reducing exposure to hazards,
which the structure is likely to sustain.
 ii) choosing structural forms, layouts and details and
designing such that
 the structure has low sensitivity to hazardous conditions.
 the structure survives with only local damage even after
serious damage to any one individual element by the
hazard.
18
CONDITIONS TO BE SATISFIED TO
AVOID A DISPROPORTIONATE
COLLAPSE
 building should be effectively tied together at each principal
floor level and each column should be effectively held in
position by means of continuous ties (beams) nearly
orthogonal
 each storey of the building should be checked to ensure
disproportionate collapse would not precipitate by the
notional removal, one at a time, of each column.
 check should be made at each storey by removing one lateral
support system at a time to ensure disproportionate collapse
would not occur.
19
ACTIONS
 5.3.1 Classification of Actions −
 by their variation with time as given below:
 a) Permanent Actions (Qp): Actions due to self-weight of structural
and non-structural components, fittings, ancillaries, and fixed
equipment etc.
 b) Variable Actions (Qv): Actions due to construction and service
stage loads such as imposed (live) loads (crane loads, snow loads
etc.), wind loads, and earthquake loads etc.
 c) Accidental Actions (Qa): Actions due to explosions, impact of
vehicles, and fires etc.

5.5 FACTORS GOVERNING THE
ULTIMATE STRENGTH
 frame stability against overturning and sway
 Fatigue design shall be as per Section 13 of this code. When
designing for fatigue, the load factor for action, γf, equal to unity
shall be used for the load causing stress fluctuation and stress
range.
 Plastic Collapse − Plastic analysis and design may be used if the
requirement specified under the plastic method of analysis
(Section 4.5) are satisfied.
23
5.6 LIMIT STATE OF SERVICEABILITY
 Deflections are to be checked for the most adverse but realistic
combination of service loads and their arrangement, by elastic
analysis, using a load factor of 1.0
 Suitable provisions in the design shall be made for the dynamic
effects of live loads, impact loads and vibration/fatigue due to
machinery operating loads.
 The durability of steel structures shall be ensured by following
recommendations of Section 15.
 Design provisions to resist fire are briefly discussed in Section 16.
