This lecture note constitutes the limitstate method of design for members
subjected to combined stress resultants asper stipulations of the draft IS: 800 –
LSM version where the draft code has dealt mainly with i) combined shear and
bending ii) combined axial tension and bending and iii)combined axial
compression and bending. These are explained in detail. The effect of reduction
in bending moment capacity has been explained. The effect of lateral torsional
buckling has also been explained. The concept of overall strength determination
has been explained. The effect of relevantfactors including equivalent uniform
moment factor has been discussed.
Concept of limit state design of beam columns
Design of members subjected to combined forces
