Answers

Answered by MathMate
Here are some ideas to investigate and comment.

Working stress is generally more conservative.
It does not take into account of the post-yield behaviour of the reinforcing steel.


Ultimate stress caters to both strenth and serviceability requirements separately.
If properly designed, will ensure gradual failure instead of sudden failure by under-reinforcing.
