Partial factors according to LRFD

When performing the design according to LRFD the analysis proceeds according to the theory of limit states (bearing capacity limit state, service limit state). 

In the case of program Spread footing the partial factors are used to pre-multiply the footing self-weight and the weight of soil above the footing only. Individual components of loading must be pre-multiplied by corresponding partial factors – the program does not modify the inputted load any further.
