Some of the design examples and practice exercises included in the book are: Distribution of Live Loads per Lane; Fatigue Limit State and fatigue life; Service Limit State; Load combinations and load factors; Wind Loads, Earthquake Loads; Unfactored and Factored Design Loads; Strength limit states...
stage, structural adequacy is evaluated using LFRD method by controlling the demand-to-capacity ratio limit of the members under the dominant gravity-seismic load combinations, the allowable deflection of the beams under service load combinations, and the lateral drift under seismic load combinations....
