IN CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN WHY WE ARE USING LIMIT STATE
METHOD IS BEST?
I THINK WORKING STRESS METHOD IS BEST?
EX; FOR COLOUMN DESIGN IN LIMIT STATE METHOD AST
IS;1913SQ.MM
SAME TIME WORKING STRESS METHOD IS ;2213.
SO I THINK WORKING STRESS METHOD IS VERY STRONG COMPARE
THEN LIMIT STATE METHOD?
MY OPENING IS CORRECT OR NOT? PLS TO EXPLAIN SIRS
Answer Posted / veera
working stress design is more conservative than limit state
method.concrete being a brittle material high factor of
safety is adopted (i.e-3).it is a stress approach,in case of
limit state partial factor of safety is used load is
factored and this a strain approach.

In foundation design, while we do the base pressure check, we normally check if the attained pressure value is less than the GROSS BEARING CAPACITY of the soil which is the sum of net bearing capacity of soil and the overburden pressure. Actually, the overburden pressure acts against the net bearing capacity of the soil and I feel that we are actually increasing the bearing capacity value and doing the check. I feel that this is NOT right. Please clarify on this.
