Focused on the comfort and performance of the structure under normal use. This includes controlling excessive deflection (sagging), vibrations, or cracking . Key Design Elements
LSD applies separate safety factors to the loads (actions) and the material strengths. This dual-factor system delivers a more uniform level of structural safety across different loading scenarios. Load Factors ( γfgamma sub f Loads are multiplied by partial safety factors greater than
