For structural and cold formed steel, the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is used. The Strength Design Method is used for reinforced concrete and masonry materials. Details on the Implementation of these methods arc given in subsequent sections in this chapter for each class of material. 

It was mentioned earlier that the level 1 methods include the limit state approach of Section 4.4. There are, however, alternative formulations of the problem and eight recent papers outline North American work in so-called Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) [71]. If the strength effect function can be characterised by R = R FP then the mean and coefficient of... 

In 2007, ACMA (American Composites Manufacturers Association) and ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) jointly developed an LRFD (Load Resistance Factor Design) standard for pultruded composites. LRFD refers to a design methodology that makes use of load and resistance factors based on the known variability of applied loads and material parameters. The development of the LRFD standard is expected to significantly influence the universal acceptance of pultruded composites (Busel, 2008).

Many current design manuals for transportation projects use the load and resistant factor design (LRFD) method (AASHTO 1998 and 2012). This procedure is based on the latest multiple ultimate states theory combining with statistic data treatment results as much as possible. This method uses different load factors for the different limit states and strength reduction factors. All stability checks and section strength checks are based on the same procedure, but there are different load and resistant factors for each specific case.

For the same reason, the deformations at which the ultimate capacity or nominal resistance against any of the other modes of failure or stability conditions are not a design consideration. Such deformations constitute failure, and the requited safeguard is provided by the FS in WSD and by the load and resistance factors in LRFD. 

Thus, it should be recognized that AASf/TO LRFD (AASHTO 2012) includes overall or global stability under the service Umit states design due to complexities involved in defining load and resistance factors when soil acts to exert both load and resistance simultaneously. Slope stability analysis for LRFD is performed in the same manner as for WSD, except that resistance factor, as stated above, is taken as the inverse of the FS determined based on the limit equilibrium methods. 

In LRFD, for both strength and extreme limit state designs, the factored resistance obtained by multiplying the nominal resistance by the specified resistance factor must be greater than or equal to the factored load for each mode of failure. That is.
