What is Comparing LRFD and ASD Load Designs about?

LRFD and ASD loads cannot be directly compared because they use loads differently in design codes. LRFD loads compare to member strength, while ASD loads compare to allowable values less than full strength. To determine which method is more demanding, the load combinations must be "unfactored" using strength/allowable stress requirements. LRFD models structural behavior better at limit states and provides more consistent reliability than ASD by applying statistical analysis to random component strengths and
