limit state method(LSM)1-insure safety of structure against both ultimATE and service load
WSM2-assumed to be deterministic because all load ,stresses ,factor of safety are already known
LSM2-non deterministic loads and stresses and load are predicted based on design data or experience of engineer
WSM3- based on linear stress distribution diagram
LSM3-based on non linier stress distribution diagram
WSM4- design values are obtained by applying factor of safety
LSM3- by applying paetial factor of safety
