Allowable Strength Design (ASD)

Process:

- Apply service loads with no load factors

- Assume linear elastic analysis of structure

- Calculated stresses shall not exceed allowable stresses.

F_calculated(Elastic) < F_Allowable

- While load factors are not used in ASD, when loads are applied in combinations, they may be applied in less than full load.
