General Comparison Between Aisc LRFD and Asd: Hamid Zand

This document compares the American Institute of Steel Construction Load and Resistance Factor Design (AISC LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) specifications. It notes that LRFD and ASD differ in their load combinations and factors, with ASD based on stresses and LRFD on forces and moment capacities. While static analysis suffices for ASD, LRFD requires nonlinear geometric analysis. Beams and flexural members are also treated differently between the two specifications in terms of how Cb is computed.

1
ASD and LRFD
Major Differences
• Load Combinations and load factors
• ASD results are based on the stresses and
LRFD results are based on the forces and
moments capacity
• Static analysis is acceptable for ASD but
nonlinear geometric analysis is required for
LRFD
• Beams and flexural members
• Cb computation
