Question

The partial factor of safety for resistance governed by yielding is :

(a) 1.10

(b) 1.5

(c) 2.0

(d) 1.25

I got this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

I would like to ask this question from Limit State Method in section Basics of Structural Design of Design of Steel Structures

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) 1.10

The best I can explain: Partial factor of safety for resistance governed by yielding and resistance of member to buckling is 1.10. The loads are multiplied or resistances are divided by this factor to get design values.
