The transition from Allowable Stress Design (ASD) to —often referred to as Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD)—allows for a more consistent safety level across different materials and loading scenarios. The 11th Edition provides the mathematical rigors needed to calculate the factored resistance of steel members against factored loads, minimizing material waste while maximizing safety.
