This paper will detail the assumptions, the first-order probabilistic basis, the calibration, and the proposed format of load and resistance factor design (LFRD) criteria for steel building structures. Specifically, the paper will concern itself with the background and the choice of the particular first-order model, with the data bases used in evaluating the loading and the resistance functions, with the calibration procedures, and with the final selection of the load and resistance factors. The method will be illustrated by the examples of beams and columns under dead and live loading. The paper will conclude with a brief review of the research work done in connection with the development of LRFD criteria for steel building structures.

Reinforced Soil Walls

Reliability-based design concepts and their application to load and resistance factor design (LRFD or limit states design (LSD) in Canada) are well known, and their adoption in geotechnical engineering design is now recommended for many soil–structure interaction problems. Two important challenges for acceptance of LRFD for the design of reinforced soil walls are (i) a proper understanding of the calibration methods used to arrive at load and resistance factors, and (ii) the proper interpretation of the data required to carry out this process. This paper presents LRFD calibration principles and traces the steps required to arrive at load and resistance factors using closed-form solutions for one typical limit state, namely pullout of steel reinforcement elements in the anchorage zone of a reinforced soil wall. A unique feature of this paper is that measured load and resistance values from a database of case histories are used to develop the statistical parameters in the examples. The paper also addresses issues related to the influence of outliers in the datasets and possible dependencies between variables that can have an important influence on the results of calibration.

Load And Resistance Factor

Planning a steel-concrete composite structure using the LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) method is a method that clearly takes into account the boundary conditions, various load factors, and resistance factors, where in this case the resistance factor is needed to maintain the possible lack of structural strength, while the factor load is used to anticipate the possibility of an overload that is formulated. This planning uses a composite structure that is focused on profile steel beams, steel deck plates, and composite columns. Dead and live loads are calculated based on the Indonesian loading regulations for 1983 buildings, while earthquake loads are calculated based on the earthquake resistance planning procedure for building and non-building structures as stipulated in SNI 1762-2012. The steel-concrete composite structure itself is calculated based on the specifications for the design of steel structure buildings using the LRFD method as stated in SNI 03-1729-2002. The structural analysis in the form of the magnitude of the force acting on the building was carried out using the SAP2000 application while the analysis of the feasibility of using the dimensions of the composite structure based on the SNI used was done manually. From the planning results, the dimensions of beam and column cross-sections for each floor plate 1, 2 and 3 are B1 250/250, B2 250/175, B3 300/150, and K1 350/350. The use of steel decks on floor plates 1, 2, and 3 uses shear connectors (studs) with a diameter of 19 mm with 40, 20, and 25 shear connectors, respectively. The joints used in the main and child beams on floors 1, 2, and 3 respectively use 19 mm diameter bolts with 4 bolts, 2 bolts, and 4 bolts respectively, while the connections to columns and beams use diameter bolts 20 mm with the number of bolts 8 pieces.

Load and resistance factor design is an efficient design approach that provides a system of consistent design solutions. This study aims to determine the load and resistance factors needed for the design of breakwater foundations within a probabilistic framework. In the study, four typical types of Korean breakwaters, namely, rubble mound breakwaters, vertical composite caisson breakwaters, perforated caisson breakwaters, and horizontal composite breakwaters, are investigated. The bearing capacity of breakwater foundations under wave loading conditions is thoroughly examined. Two levels of the target reliability index (RI) of 2.5 and 3.0 are selected to implement the load and resistance factors calibration using Monte Carlo simulations with 100,000 cycles. The normalized resistance factors are found to be lower for the higher target RI as expected. Their ranges are from 0.668 to 0.687 for the target RI of 2.5 and from 0.576 to 0.634 for the target RI of 3.0.

Load And Resistance Factor

The reliability-based design of shallow foundations is generally implemented via a load and resistance factor design methodology embedded in a limit state design framework. For any particular limit state, the design proceeds by ensuring that the factored resistance equals or exceeds the factored load effects. Load and resistance factors are determined to ensure that the resulting design is sufficiently safe. Load factors are typically prescribed in structural codes and take into account load uncertainty. Factors applied to resistance depend on both uncertainty in the resistance (accounted for by a resistance factor) and desired target reliability (accounted for by a newly introduced consequence factor). This paper concentrates on how the consequence factor can be defined and specified to adjust the target reliability of a shallow foundation designed to resist bearing capacity failure.

Third Moment

Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is widely used in building codes for reliability design. In the calculation of load and resistance factors, the third-moment method (3M) has been proposed to overcome the shortcomings (e.g., inevitable iterative computation, requirement of probability density functions (PDFs) of random variables) of other methods. With the existing 3M method, the iterative is simplified to one computation, and the PDFs of random variables are not required. In this paper, the computation of load and resistance factors is further simplified to no iterations. Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed method is proved to be higher than the existing 3M methods. Additionally, with the proposed method, the limitations regarding applicable range in the existing 3M methods are avoided. With several examples, the comparison of the existing 3M method, the ASCE method, the Mori method, and the proposed method is given. The results show that the proposed method is accurate, simple, safe, and saves material.
