Phase VI · Engineering Design Studio · Week 1–2
Design Basis and Criteria
Establish the governing criteria: strength, serviceability, durability, performance targets and their source clauses.
ASCE 7
ACI 318
AISC 360
AASHTO LRFD
Design basis completeness0%
Governing criteria (0)
Mark the criteria that control member sizing or serviceability as governing.
Design basis table
No criteria yet. Use "Seed starter basis" or "Add criterion" to begin the design basis table.
Design warnings (1)
- No design criteria recorded yet — the design basis is undefined.
Learning objectives
- Build a design basis table
- Cite the governing standard for each criterion
- Flag governing criteria
Engineering judgment
- A criterion without a source is an assumption.
- Serviceability governs more designs than strength.
