Force-based design is an approach to designing structures or systems that involves calculating and analyzing the forces acting on them to ensure they can withstand the expected load or stresses. This method involves evaluating the structural elements, such as beams, columns, and connections, to determine their strength and durability under different types of loading scenarios. Engineers use complex mathematical models to calculate the forces on the structure and optimize its design to ensure that it can withstand the expected load without failure or collapse. The force-based design is commonly used in civil engineering projects such as buildings, bridges, and tunnels, and in mechanical engineering projects such as machines and manufacturing facilities.
