Sect. A6.] REFERENCED CODES AND STANDARDS 72. Limit States<strong>LRFD</strong> is a method of proportioning structures so that no applicable limit state isexceeded when the structure is subjected to all appropriate factored loadcombinations.Strength limit states are related to safety and concern maximum load carryingcapacity. Serviceability limit states are related to performance under normal serviceconditions. The term “resistance” includes both strength limit states and serviceabilitylimit states.3. Design for StrengthThe required strength shall be determined for each applicable load combination asstipulated in Section A4.The design strength of each structural component or assemblage shall equal orexceed the required strength based on the factored loads. The design strength R nfor each applicable limit state is calculated as the nominal strength R n multiplied bya resistance factor . Nominal strengths R n and resistance factors are given inChapters D through K.4. Design for Serviceability and Other ConsiderationsThe overall structure and the individual members, connections, and connectorsshall be checked for serviceability. Provisions for design for serviceability aregiven in Chapter L.A6.
