The limit state method is a design approach used in structural engineering to ensure that structures are designed to withstand various loads and stresses without failing. This method considers the structure's performance under different limit states, such as:
To successfully design using the Limit State Method, you must use these alongside your textbook: IS 800:2007 General construction in steel (Code of Practice). IS 875 (Part 1-3) Design loads (Dead, Imposed, and Wind). Steel Tables
