    The document discusses load and resistance factor design (LRFD) versus allowable stress design (ASD) philosophies for structures like parking garages, bridges, and complex buildings. LRFD accounts for different uncertainties in loads and capacities by using various load and resistance factors, while ASD uses single load and safety factors and treats all loads equally regardless of uncertainties. The key distinction is that LRFD more accurately models uncertainties.

    ACTIVITY 1

    1.
     Parking Garages
     Bridges
     Complex Buildings

    2.
     Architectural Expression
     Safety
     Reduced Weight

    3. The key distinction between LRFD and ASD design philosophies is that ASD utilizes a single load
    factor and safety factor to treat all loads equally in terms of uncertainties, whereas LRFD defines
    various loading factors for each load effect based on probabilities and introduces resistance
    factors to take member capacity uncertainties into account.
