IN CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN WHY WE ARE USING LIMIT STATE
METHOD IS BEST?
I THINK WORKING STRESS METHOD IS BEST?
EX; FOR COLOUMN DESIGN IN LIMIT STATE METHOD AST
IS;1913SQ.MM
SAME TIME WORKING STRESS METHOD IS ;2213.
SO I THINK WORKING STRESS METHOD IS VERY STRONG COMPARE
THEN LIMIT STATE METHOD?
MY OPENING IS CORRECT OR NOT? PLS TO EXPLAIN SIRS

Answer Posted / santosh singh

dear
what is u r qualification if ur a civil engineer this is a
stupid question.

see there is difference in working stress method and limit
state method

eg. if we design any member of building in case of working
stress method ie eg FOR 1000KN THERE IS DESIGN FOR ONLY
THIS LOAD

BUT in case of limit state method a factor of safety 1.5 is
used ie same member in limit state will be designed FOR
1.5 X 1000 = 1500KN

THUS THERE IS SAFETY IN DESIGN UR MEMBER CAN WITHSTAND LOAD
OF 1000KN BUT WE DESIGN IT TO WITHSTAND A LOAD 1500KN IE U
R STRUCTURE WILL NOT FAIL.

IF U DESIGN STRUCTURE FOR 1000KN LOAD AND ITS LOAD
CARRYING CAPACITY IS 1000KN THEN U R STRUCTURE WILL
COLLAPSE

THUS LIMITE STATE METHEOD IF BEST TODAY

IN 1900 WORKING STREE METHOD CAME
AFTER THAT ULTIMATE LOAD METHOD CAME
& THEN CAME LIMIT STATE METHOD

Is This Answer Correct ?    26 Yes 1 No
