EXAM UPDATE
Local buckling - (answers)Buckling of thin elements in a cross-section under
compressive stress
Allowable Stress Design (ASD) - (answers)The governing principle of design is that
the stresses caused by the nominal design loads should not exceed an allowable
stress which is the yield stress reduced by a safety factor
Limit States Design (LSD) - (answers)'Limit States' are the various conditions in
which a structure would be considered to have failed to fulfil the purposes for
which it was built
Equation for limit state design - (answers)The sum of all loads Fk, multiplied by
their associated partial factors γF, must be less than or equal to the resistance Rk
divided by a partial safety factor γM.
Cross-sectional classification - (answers)Categorization of cross-sections based on
slenderness and loading conditions
