Answer Posted / arif

in limit state method a factory of safety of 0.5 will be
considered (eg: for designing a colum of 1KN factor of
safety 0.5 will be multiplied hence it will become 1.5) so
column withstand even if it is loaded more than its required
capacity

in working stress method the column is designed only for 1
KN load.
