Note that the sum of the load-to-resstace ratos must be lmted to uty. For example, f both bedg ad axal compresso are actg, the teracto formula would be Pu φ P c Mu φ M b P u factored axal compressve load φ c P compressve desg stregth M u factored bedg momet φ b M flexural desg stregth For baxal bedg, there wll be two bedg ratos: Pu φ P c M φbm ux x M φ M b uy y where the x ad y subscrpts refer to bedg about the x ad y axes. Glossary (Part 16 of LRFD Specfcatos ad Code): Lmt State: a codto whch a structure or compoet becomes uft for servce ad s judged ether to be o loger useful for ts teded fucto (servceablty lmt state) or to be usafe (stregth lmt state).

53:134 Structural Desg II Nomal loads: the magtudes of the loads specfed by the applcable code ( Q ). Load factor: a factor that accouts for uavodable devatos of the actual load from the omal value ad for ucertates the aalyss that trasforms the load to a load effect. ( γ ). Factored load: the product of the omal load ad a load factor ( γ Q). Resstace: the capacty of a structure or compoet to resst the effects of loads, as determed by computato usg specfed materal stregths ad dmesos ad formulas derved from accepted prcples of structural mechacs or by feld tests or laboratory tests of scaled models, allowg for modellg effects ad dffereces betwee laboratory ad feld codtos. Resstace s a geerc term that cludes both stregth ad servceablty lmt states. Nomal stregth: the capacty of a structure or compoet to resst the effects of loads, as determed by computato usg specfed materal stregths ad dmesos ad formulas derved from accepted prcples of structural mechacs or by feld tests or laboratory tests of scaled models, allowg for modellg effects ad dffereces betwee laboratory ad feld codtos ( R ). Resstace factor: a factor that accouts for uavodable devatos of the actual stregth from the omal value ad the maer ad cosequeces of falure (φ ). J.S. Arora/Q. Wag 4 LoadadResstFactor.doc
53:134 Structural Desg II Desg stregth: resstace (force, momet, stress, as approprate) provded by elemet or coecto; the product of the omal stregth ad the resstace factor ( φ ). Compact sectos: capable of developg a fully plastc stress dstrbuto ad possess rotato capacty of approxmately three before the oset of local bucklg;.e., local bucklg s ot a ssue. Nocompact sectos: ca develop the yeld stress compresso elemets before local bucklg occurs, but wll ot resst elastc local bucklg at stra levels requred for a fully plastc stress dstrbuto. Stffeer: a member, usually a agle or plate, attached to a plate or web of a beam or grder to dstrbute load, to trasfer shear, or to prevet bucklg of the member to whch t s attached. R Examples J.S.
