ASD and LRFD

Major Differences
Load Combinations and load factors
ASD results are based on the stresses and
LRFD results are based on the forces and
moments capacity
Static analysis is acceptable for ASD but
nonlinear geometric analysis is required for
LRFD
Beams and flexural members
Cb computation

Based on the b/t and h/tw ratios determine the compactness of
the cross-section
Classify flexural members as Compact, Noncompact, or
Slender
When noncompact section in ASD, allowable stress Fb is
computed based on the l/rt ratio. l is the laterally unbraced
length of the compression flange. Also, Cb has to be computed
When noncompact or slender section in LRFD, LTB, FLB, and
WLB are checked
LTB for noncompact or slender sections is computed using Lb
and Cb. Lb is the laterally unbraced length of the compression
flange
