Allowable stress design
A design procedure developed for the AISC by the Research Council on Structural Connections. Purposely underestimates the strengths of bolts and joint materials to introduce safety factors into the design of structural steel joints. Is an alternative to the more recently defined load and resistance factor design procedure.
