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


Design PhilosophiesResistance of structures is composed

of its members which comes from

materials & X-section

Resistance, Capacity, and Strength are

somewhat synonym terms.

Terms like Demand, Stresses, and

Loads are used to express Effect of

applied loads.


Limit StatesWhen particular loading reaches its

limit, failure is the assumed result, i.e. the loading condition become failure modes, such a condition is referred to as limit state and it can be defined as

“A limit state is a condition beyond which a structural system or a structural component ceases to fulfill the function for which it is designed.”

CE-411: Lecture 01

There are three broad classification of limit states:

1. Strength limit states

2. Serviceability limit states

3. Special limit states

9

Limit States


Strength Limit States:• Flexure• Torsion• Shear

Limit States

• Fatigue• Settlement• Bearing


Serviceability Limit States:• Cracking• Excessive Deflection• Buckling• Stability

Limit States


Limit StatesSpecial Limit States:

Damage or collapse in extreme

earthquakes.

Structural effects of fire, explosions, or

vehicular collisions.

CE-411: Lecture 01

Design Approach used must ensure that the probability of a Limit State being reached in the Design/Service Life of a structure is within acceptable limits;

However, complete elimination of probability of a Limit State being achieved in the service life of a structure is impractical as it would result in uneconomical designs.

13

Limit States

CE-411: Lecture 01


• Structure and Structural Members should have adequate strength, stiffness and toughness to ensure proper functioning during service life

• Reserve Strength should be available to cater for:

– Occasional overloads and underestimation of loads

– Variability of strength of materials from those specified

– Variation in strength arising from quality of workmanship and construction practices

14

CE-411: Lecture 01 Prof. Dr. Akhtar Naeem Khan

15

Structural Design must provide adequate margin of safety irrespective of Design Method

Design Approach should take into account the probability of occurrence of failure in the design process



16


17

An important goal in design is to prevent limit state from being reached.

It is not economical to design a structure so that none of its members or components could ever fail. Thus, it is necessary to establish an acceptable level of risk or probability of failure.


CE-411: Lecture 01

Brittle behavior is to be avoided as it will imply a sudden loss of load carrying capacity when elastic limit is exceeded.

Reinforced concrete can be made ductile by limiting the steel reinforcement.

18



19

To determine the acceptable margin of safety, opinion should be sought from experience and qualified group of engineers.

In steel design AISC manuals for ASD & LRFD guidelines can be accepted as reflection of such opinions.



20

Any design procedure require the confidence of Engineer on the analysis of load effects and strength of the materials.

The two distinct procedures employed by designers are Allowable Stress Design (ASD) & Load & Resistance Factor Design (LRFD).



21

Safety in the design is obtained by specifying, that the effect of the loads should produce stresses that is a fraction of the yield stress fy, say one half.



22

• This is equivalent to:

FOS = Resistance, R/ Effect of load, Q

= fy/0.5fy

= 2


CE-411: Lecture 01

Since the specifications set limit on the stresses, it became allowable stress design (ASD).

It is mostly reasonable where stresses are uniformly distributed over X-section (such on determinate trusses, arches, cables etc.)

Mathematical Description of Allowable Stress Design

In ASD we check the adequacy of a design in terms of stresses therefore design checks are cast in terms of stresses for example if:Mn = Nominal Flexural Strength of a BeamM = Moment resulting from applied unfactored loadsFS = Factor of Safety


Prof. Dr. Akhtar Naeem KhanCE-411:Lecture No. 1


Section Modulus: S ≥ effect of load/Allowable stress = M/fb ------(ii)

Section Modulus


27

Implied in the ASD method is the assumption that the stress in the member is zero before any loads are applied, i.e., no residual stresses exist from forming the members.

ASD Drawbacks


28

Material A has more Residual Stresses due to: 1. Non uniform cooling

2. Cutting a plate into smaller pieces reveals the stresses

Variation of Residual Stress with Geometry


29

• ASD does not give reasonable measure of strength, which is more fundamental measure of resistance than is allowable stress.

• Another drawback in ASD is that safety is applied only to stress level. Loads are considered to be deterministic (without variation).

ASD Drawbacks

CE-411: Lecture 01

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.

30


CE-411: Lecture 01

31

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

in QnR

Rn = Resistance or Strength of the component being designedQi = Effect of Applied Loadsn = Takes into account ductility, redundancy and operational imp. Φ = Resistance Factor or Strength Reduction Factor = Overload or Load Factors

= Factor of Safety



32

Ductility: It implies a large capacity for inelastic deformation without rupture

Ductility will ensure

redistribution of load through

inelastic deformation.

The role of ‘n’


33

Redundancy:

1. A simply supported beam is a determinate structure so it has no redundant actions.

2. A fixed beam is indeterminate by 2 degrees so it has two redundant actions.

The role of ‘n’


34

Yielding will initiate at mid span due to maximum moment at mid span with no Redistribution of load

Redundancy


35

Yielding will initiate at supports due to maximum moment at supports

Redundancy


36

Redistribution of load to mid span after yielding of section at supports

Redundancy


37

Operational Importance:

A hospital and a school require more conservative design than an ordinary residential building.

CE-411: Lecture 01

LRFD accounts for both variability in resistance and load.

It achieves fairly uniform levels of safety for different limit states.

39

LRFD Advantages

CE-411: Lecture 01

It’s disadvantage is change in design philosophy from previous method.

40

LRFD Disadvantages


41

ASD combines Dead and Live Loads and treats them in the same way

In LRFD different load factors are assigned to Dead Loads and Live Loads which is appealing

Changes in load factors and resistance factors are much easier to make in LRFD compared to changing the allowable stress in ASD

Comparison of ASD and LRFD Design Approaches


42

LRFD is intrinsically appealing as it requires better understanding of behavior of the structure in its limit states

Design approach similar to LRFD is being followed in Design of concrete structures in form of Ultimate Strength Design -- why not use similar approach design of steel structures?


CE-411: Lecture 01

ASD indirectly incorporates the Factors of Safety by limiting the stress whereas LRFD aims to specify Factors of Safety directly by specifying Resistance Factors and Load Factors

LRFD is more rational as different Factors of Safety can be assigned to different loadings such as Dead Loads, Live Loads, Earthquake Loads and Impact Loads

43



44

LRFD considers variability not only in resistance but also in the effects of load which provides measure of safety related to probability of failure

It achieves fairly uniform levels of safety for different limit states.

ASD still remains as a valid Design Method

AREA Stands for American Railway Engineers Association (AREA)

Railway Bridges and Structures are usually designed using provisions of the AREA Code

AREA Code uses only the Allowable Stress Design Method. However, the allowable stresses and design requirements may differ from AISC/ASD method

47

AREA Code for Design of Railway Structures

CE-411: Lecture 01

• AASHTO Stands for American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)

• Highway Bridges are usually designed using provisions of the AASHTO Code

• AASHTO Code uses both ASD and LRFD Design Methods

48

AASHTO Code for Design of Highway Bridges

CE-411: Lecture 01

It is very difficult to devise a design code that is applicable to all uses and all types of structures such as buildings, highway bridges, railway bridges and transmission towers

The responsibility of infrastructure on roads, bridges and electrical transmission towers rests with the organization responsible for approving, operating and maintaining these facilities

49

The role of various Codes


50

Uses and critical loads may be different in different types of structures and no one code can cater to all the different important considerations

For above reasons different codes prevail and will continue to do so

AISC ASD Code and LRFD Code primarily is pertinent to Building Structures.
