Chapter 4 now introduces the concept of compound buckling for compression members.

Unlike the older allowable stress design (ASD), Limit States Design (LSD) uses a probabilistic approach to ensure structural safety and functionality. It evaluates two primary categories of "limit states"—conditions beyond which the structure no longer performs its intended function: Chapter 4 now introduces the concept of compound
