S.K. Duggal's Limit State Design of Steel Structures focuses on ensuring safety and serviceability in compliance with IS 800:2007, utilizing partial safety factors for load and material resistance. Key principles include designing for both Ultimate Limit State (ULS) to prevent collapse and Serviceability Limit State (SLS) to maintain functionality. A summary of these methods is available on Scribd, and a comprehensive overview of the text is accessible via Google Books .
