Here’s a blog post tailored for engineering students and professionals who might be searching for resources on Limit State Design of Steel Structures by S.K. Duggal.
" But with Limit State," Verma continued, tracing a diagram of a stress block, "S.K. Duggal shows you how to calculate the plastic moment capacity. You acknowledge that steel can yield. It can stretch. It can redistribute that stress. You use the full strength of the material, but only after you’ve factored the loads with a heavy dose of reality." limit state design of steel structures by sk duggal pdf

He stopped looking at the yield stress as a wall he couldn't touch. He started looking at it as a resource to be managed, carefully and precisely. He consulted the Duggal text, checking the interaction formula for combined axial load and bending. He found the section on 'Plastic Section Classification.' He stopped looking at the yield stress as
