What is Assumptions and Limitations of WSM about?
The working stress method makes several assumptions that limit its accuracy: 1. It assumes linear elastic behavior for steel and concrete under working loads. 2. It does not account for long-term effects like creep, shrinkage, and stress concentrations. 3. It does not incorporate safety factors for loads, so the true margin of safety is unknown. 4. It treats concrete as entirely elastic when it exhibits inelastic behavior even at low stresses.
