Limit State Design Of Steel Structures By Sk Duggal __link__ Info

Duggal, S.K. (2025 Reference). Limit State Design of Steel Structures (Standard Edition). New Delhi: Oxford University Press. (Based on IS 800:2007).

Before delving into Duggal’s work, it is essential to understand the context. The Working Stress Method treated materials as perfectly elastic and applied a single factor of safety to the yield stress. Duggal critically notes that this method fails to account for inelastic behavior, buckling, and the statistical nature of loads. The Limit State Method, endorsed by IS 800:2007 (the Indian standard), replaces the single factor of safety with multiple partial safety factors, acknowledging that uncertainties in loads (live, wind, seismic) differ from uncertainties in material strength (steel grade, fabrication errors). limit state design of steel structures by sk duggal
