Q: Which is the design method that multiples the working loads by partial factor of safety and also divides the ultimate strengths of the materials by partial safety factor?
  • A. The load factor method
  • B. The unit change method
  • C. The limit state method
  • D. The working stress method
Correct Answer: Option C - The limit state method is a structural design approach that ensures the safety and serviceability of structure by considering various limit states or conditions that may lead to failure. This method involes analyzing two main limit states. The ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state. The design method that multiplies the working loads by partial factors of safety and divides the ultimate strength of materials by partial. Safety factor is limit state method.
