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.

REFERENCE
The initial principal stresses at a certain depth in a clay soil are 200 kPa on the horizontal plane and 100 kPa on the vertical plane. Construction of a surface foundation induces additional stresses consisting of a vertical stress of 45 kPa, a lateral (horizontal) stress of 20 kPa, and a counterclockwise (with respect to the horizontal plane) shear stress of 40 kPa. Plot Mohr's circle (1) for the initial state of the soil and (2) after construction of the foundation. Determine (a) the change in magnitude of the principal stress, (b) the change in maximum shear stress, and (c) the change in orientation of the principal stress plane resulting from the construction of the foundation.
