Course Objectives
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Explain the background of ASD and LRFD
- Compare the numerical demands forces developed by the two approaches in terms of a single material and the resultant effects on capacity (including load combinations required for a safe design)
- Compare and contrast the traditional uses of ASD and LRFD for different materials
- Define the change from allowable stress design to allowable strength design, as defined by AISC (Steel)
- Discuss the implications of choosing between the two systems when beginning a new design or a renovation project in terms of safety, cost and constructability
