Limit States 1. Ultimate Limit States 2. Serviceability Limit States 3. Fatigue Limit States 4. Accidental Limit States
Ultimate, serviceability, fatigue, and accidental limit states are the four types of limit states considered in structural design. Ultimate limit states refer to collapse or other structural failures while serviceability limit states involve excessive deformation or vibration. Fatigue limit states account for structural damage or failure from cyclic loading. Accidental limit states address unforeseen events like impacts or explosions.
