In this proposal, a simplified design guideline for concrete structures will be developed based on PBD and working stress design (WSD) method because WSD is easy to understand. WSD is the most simple and well-known design approach. Moreover, WSD is available in many developing countries.
Thus, the proposed design guideline would be beneficial for international construction business and be a basis for future PBD international code. The proposed guideline include a design example of simple reinforced concrete beam using PBD with WSD. Performance indices (PIs) in the guideline include PIs for stress, serviceability and durability.
