In SQL 2005 a user with ddl_admin previalges was able to add column to a table through GUI interface though it gives a warning message but in SQL 2008 its not the same, is there any work around so that users can modify table using GUI.

In Management Studio, go to Tools:Options:Designers:Table and Database Designers. There's a checkbox to "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation". I recommend leaving that checked, as that kind of table change should have a safety in place.
