ASD[edit]

In this method, the engineer uses the ASD load combinations (below) to determine the required

strength of a member and arranges for the allowable strength to satisfy this equation:

where:

Ra = required strength,

Rn = nominal strength, specified in Chapters B through K of the AISC SCM,

Ω = safety factor, specified in Chapters B through K of the AISC SCM,

Rn/Ω = allowable strength.
