: Focuses on resisting ultimate loads to prevent physical failure. Limit State of Serviceability
Limit State Design of Steel Structures (often associated with S.K. Duggal) is a foundational resource in structural engineering that transitions from the traditional Working Stress Method (WSM) to the modern Limit State Method (LSM). This review examines its core pedagogical strengths, technical depth, and practical application. Core Philosophical Shift: LSM vs. WSM limit state design of steel structures pdf
