Design
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5457; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is a structural design method that uses concepts from
reliability theory and incorporates them into a procedure usable by the design community. The basic
design equation requires establishing a reference resistance based on several material property
parameters. A standard method for calculating the required material property input data is critical so
that all wood-based structural materials can be treated equitably. This specification provides the
procedures that are required for the generation of reference resistance for LRFD.
