load and Resistance Factor Design THEODORE V. GALAMBOS load and Resistance Factor Design , abbreviated as LRFD, is a scheme of designing steel structures and structural components which is different from the traditionally used allowable stress format, as can be seen by comparing the following two inequalities: > Qm (1) 1 4>Rn > t yiQni (2) 1 The first of these inequalities represents the allowable stress case, while the second represents the LRFD Design crite-rion. The left side in each case is the Design strength, and the right is the required strength* The term Rn defines the normal strength as given by an equation in a specification, and Qni is the load effect ( , a computed stress or a force such as bending moment, shear force axial force, etc.)
