difference in steel design results

please check the code attached. I'm trying to design a purlin section on staad pro using various indian codes. in steed design result is800  and is800 2007 WSD failed the section  BUT IS800 2007 LSD passed the section. should I consider this section passed or failed. please help me understand.

  • Dear User,

    You have used 3 codes in the file. Every code has some design philosophy and methods. They are different from each other. IS 800 & IS 800 2007 Wsd are based on working stress method. IS 800 2007 LSD is based on limit state method. Now there are differences in design methodology for WSD & LSD. In WSD we work with a stress within elastic limit. In limit state we can go beyond elastic limit.  Please refer some standard book to know about this.  Also, the load combinations used here is not okay for IS 800 1984 code. So, the results will not be same for all codes and they are passed or failed as per that particular code prohibitions.

    Thanks & Regards,

  • thanks for your reply sir, also can u tell me what should be the load combinations in this particular case(for is800 2007 LSD and WSD), and which approach should be preferred( LSD or WSD). what is preferred by the designers for better practicality, safety and economy.
