What is AISC LRFD vs ASD: Key Differences about?

This document compares the American Institute of Steel Construction Load and Resistance Factor Design (AISC LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) specifications. It notes that LRFD and ASD differ in their load combinations and factors, with ASD based on stresses and LRFD on forces and moment capacities. While static analysis suffices for ASD, LRFD requires nonlinear geometric analysis. Beams and flexural members are also treated differently between the two specifications in terms of how Cb is computed.
