Verification according to factors of safety

When running verification analysis according to "Factors of safety", it is possible to introduce the required value of factor safety FS for vertical bearing capacity in the frame "Settings".   

The program performs verification of vertical bearing capacity of compression pile as:

where: Vd - extreme vertical load acting on a pile
Rc - pile compressive resistance
Wp - pile self-weight (introduction into the analysis based on the setting in the frame "Load")

and for tension pile:

where: Vd - extreme vertical load acting on a pile
Rst - pile tensile resistance
Wp - pile self-weight
