4b) The limit state method of design overcomes many of the disadvantages of permissible stress and load factor methods. This is done by applying partial factors of safety, both to the loads and to the material strengths, and the magnitude of the factors may be varied so that they may be used either with the plastic conditions in the ultimate state or with the more elastic stress range at working loads. This flexibility is particularly important if full benefits are to be obtained from development of improved concrete and steel properties. Spell out the drawbacks and disadvantages of the two methods.
