Concept explainers

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.

A masonry dam of trapezoidal cross section, with one face vertical, has a thickness of 2ft at the top and 10ft at the bottom. It is 22ft high and has a horizontal base. The inclined face is subjected to water pressure, the water standing to a depth of 15ft above the base. The weight of the masonry is 150lb per cu ft. If there is no hydrostatic uplift, where will the resultant pressure intersect the base? Is this a good design?
