Valuation of Methods for Designing of R.C.C. Structures-A Case Study with Working Stress vie Limit State Vie-a-Vie Ultimate load.

Abstract

Here the study reveals that cost VAS° limit state method is more economical and viable to use-in the design of RCC structures, while for steel saving working stress method of designing of RCC structures is more appropriate. As so many methods are coming in knowledge for the design of these structures, however only working and limit state methods are in vogue. At technical level institutions around the province, working stress method has been kept in syllabus to make cast' approach of designing concept, while at degree level, limit state procedure has been included in the syllabus for the applicable designing of structures over working sites. In view of valuation and designing purposes, this paper shows and encourages, the designers to follow only limit state rather than other methods. It is concluded that designing of RCC structures by using limit state method is safe, useful, economical and viable in most of applying condition.
