Design with Load and Strength Coefficients Load Resistance Factor Design is based on the principle that the design strength value for all structural elements members is equal to or greater than the required strength calculated with the loads and loading combinations mentioned in the regulation. YDKT uses use different load increase factors for each load type combinations and different strength reduction factors for strength. It provides a uniform security.
