What is the difference between working stress method and limit state method in the design of beams, slabs, columns, and footing with examples that are easy to understand?
And for designing columns?
In working stress method, the design of a column involves checking the axial load and the moment due to any eccentricity of the load, while assuming a linear stress-strain relationship for the material. In limit state method, the design involves checking the column for various limit states, including axial compression, flexural buckling, and lateral-torsional buckling.
