BASES FOR DESIGN AND METHODS OF THE DESIGN ANALYSIS

BASES FOR DESIGN :- The structures and the structural members shall be designed to have at all sections ,strengths at least equal to the structural effects of design loads and forces that occur during the course of construction and use as determined by the relevant methods of design Structures and the Structural members shall also meet all the other requirements of the code . The design shall be made in accordance with the principles of mechanics , recognised methods of the design and sound engineering practice. In particular,adequate consideration shall be given to the effects of continuity in the distribution of bending moments and shears due to monolithic construction.METHODS OF DESIGN:--Structures and the structural elements may be designed by any of the following methods:-- (1) Limit state method (2) Working stress method (3) Methods base on experimental investigations Note:-- Design based on experimental investigations on models of full size Structures or element may be expected subject to experimental details and the analysis connected therewith being approved by the engineer in charge .
