DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

A structural engineer is a member of a team that works together to design a building, bridge, or other structure. In the case of a building, an
architect generally provides the overall layout, and mechanical, electrical, and structural engineers design individual systems within the building.
The structure should satisfy four major criteria:
1. Appropriateness. The arrangement of spaces, spans, ceiling heights, access, and traffic flow must complement the intended use. The structure
should fit its environment and be aesthetically pleasing.
2. Economy. The overall cost of the structure should not exceed the client’s budget. Frequently, teamwork in design will lead to overall
economies.
3. Structural adequacy. Structural adequacy involves two major aspects.
(a) A structure must be strong enough to support all anticipated loadings safely.
(b) A structure must not deflect, tilt, vibrate, or crack in a manner that impairs its usefulness.
4. Maintainability. A structure should be designed so as to require a minimum amount of simple maintenance procedures
LIMIT STATE DESIGN

When a structure or structural element becomes unfit for its intended use, it is said to have reached a
limit state. The limit states for reinforced concrete structures can be divided into three basic groups:
1. Ultimate limit states. These involve a structural collapse of part or all of the structure. Such a limit
state should have a very low probability of occurrence, because it may lead to loss of life and major
financial losses. The major ultimate limit states are as follows:

(a) Loss of equilibrium of a part or all of the structure as a rigid body. Such a failure would generally
involve tipping or sliding of the entire structure and would occur if the reactions necessary for
equilibrium could not be developed.
(b) Rupture of critical parts of the structure, leading to partial or complete collapse. The majority of
this book deals with this limit state. flexural failures; shear failures; and so on.
LIMIT STATE DESIGN

(c) Progressive collapse. In some structures, an overload on one member may cause that member to
fail. The load acting on it is transferred to adjacent members which, in turn, may be overloaded and fail,
causing them to shed their load to adjacent members, causing them to fail one after another, until a
major part of the structure has collapsed.

(d) Formation of a plastic mechanism. A mechanism is formed when the reinforcement yields to form
plastic hinges at enough sections to make the structure unstable.
(e) Instability due to deformations of the structure. This type of failure involves buckling.
(f) Fatigue. Fracture of members due to repeated stress cycles of service loads may cause collapse.
