Limit States and Design
Limit State:
Condition in which a structure or structural
element is no longer acceptable for its
intended use.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 8
Ultimate Limit State
Ultimate limit state
structural collapse of all or part of the
structure ( very low probability of
occurrence) and loss of life can occur.
Loss of equilibrium of a part or all of a
structure as a rigid body (tipping, sliding of
structure).
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 9
Ultimate Limit States
Ultimate limit state
Rupture of critical components causing
partial or complete collapse. (flexural,
shear failure).
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 10
Ultimate Limit States
Progressive Collapse
Minor local failure overloads causing
adjacent members to failure entire structure
collapses.
Structural integrity is provided by tying the
structure together with correct detailing of
reinforcement provides alternative load paths
in case of localized failure
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 11
Ultimate Limit States
Formation of a plastic mechanism - yielding
of reinforced forms plastic hinges at enough
sections to make structure unstable.
Instability cased by deformations of structure
causing buckling of members.
Fatigue - members can fracture under
repeated stress cycles of service loads (may
cause collapse).
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 12
Serviceability Limit States
Functional use of structure is disrupted, but
collapse is not expected
More often tolerated than an an ultimate
limit state since less danger of loss of life.
Excessive crack width leakage
corrosion of reinforcement
gradual deterioration of structure.

ACI Building Codes
Whenever two different materials , such as steel and
concrete, acting together, it is understandable that the
analysis for strength of a reinforced concrete member
has to be partial empirical although rational. These
semi-rational principles and methods are being
constant revised and improved as a result of
theoretical and experimental research accumulate. The
American Concrete Institute (ACI), serves as clearing
house for these changes, issues building code
requirements.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 21
Design Philosophy
Two philosophies of design have long prevalent.
• Working stress method focuses on conditions
at service loads.
• Strength of design method focusing on
conditions at loads greater than the service
loads when failure may be imminent.
The strength design method is deemed conceptually
more realistic to establish structural safety.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 22
Strength Design Method
In the strength method, the service loads are
increased sufficiently by factors to obtain the load at
which failure is considered to be “imminent”. This
load is called the factored load or factored service
load.
strength required to
strength provided
carry factored loads
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 23
Strength Design Method
Strength provide is computed in accordance with
rules and assumptions of behavior prescribed by the
building code and the strength required is obtained by
performing a structural analysis using factored loads.
The “strength provided” has commonly referred to as
“ultimate strength”. However, it is a code defined
value for strength and not necessarily “ultimate”. The
ACI Code uses a conservative definition of strength.

Safety Provisions
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 25
Safety Provisions
There are three main reasons why some sort of
safety factor are necessary in structural design.
[1] Variability in resistance.
[2] Variability in loading.
[3] Consequences of failure.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 26
Variability in Resistance
Variability of the strengths of concrete
and reinforcement.
Differences between the as-built
dimensions and those found in
structural drawings.
Effects of simplification made in the
derivation of the members resistance.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 27
Variability in Resistance
Comparison of
measured and
computed failure
moments based on
all data for reinforced
concrete beams with
fc > 2000 psi.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 28
Variability in Loading
Frequency distribution
of sustained component
of live loads in offices.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 29
Consequences of Failure
A number of subjective factors must be
considered in determining an acceptable level of
safety.
Potential loss of life.
Cost of clearing the debris and replacement
of the structure and its contents.
Cost to society.
Type of failure warning of failure, existence of
alternative load paths.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 30
Margin of Safety
The distributions
of the resistance
and the loading
are used to get a
probability of
failure of the
structure.
wood4657@yahoo.es
wood4657@gmail.com 31
Margin of Safety
The term
Y=R-S
is called the safety
margin.
The probability of failure is defined as:
Pf Pr obability of Y 0
and the safety index is
Y

slowly temperature rises and
volume expansion later cooling
causes contraction. Use special
