Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)
(LRFD)
is the method of proportioning structural
components such as that the design strength
equals or exceeds the required strength of
the component under the action of LRFD
load combination.
Allowable Strength Design
(ASD)
is a method of proportioning structural
components such that the allowable strength
equals or exceeds the required strength of
the component under the action of the ASD
load combination.

FOR TENSION
TENSILE STRENGTH
ФtPn (design tensile strength) or Pn/Ωt (allowable tensile
strength) must be the lowest value between the two:
Tensile Yielding in the Gross Section:
Pn = FyAg Ae = effective area net, mm²
Фt = 0.90 (LRFD) Ae = UAn
Ωt = 1.67 (ASD) An = area net, mm²
U = shear lag factor
Ag = gross area of member, mm²
Tensile Rupture in the Net Section: Fy = yield stress, MPa
Fu = tensile strength, MPa
Pn = FuAe Ω = safety factor
Ф = resistance factor
Фt = 0.75 (LRFD)
Ωt = 2.00 (ASD)
