Consider the following statements related to the limit state design criterion for a safe design of the structure
1. The structure or its elements should not collapse when subjected to the design loads.
2. The structure should not become unfit for use due to cracking or excessive deflection.
3. The structure should reach a limit state during its design life.
Which of the above statement are correct?
According to IS 456:2000 (Clause 36.1), the Limit State Method ensures that a structure does not reach
the limit state during its design life.
• Statement 1: Correct – The structure should not collapse under the design loads.
• Statement 2: Correct – The structure should remain serviceable without excessive cracking or deflection.
• Statement 3: Incorrect – A structure should not reach a limit state during its design life.
