Verification According to the Safety Factors

When running the verification analysis according to the factor of safety, it is possible to introduce the required value of factor safety SF for the vertical bearing capacity in the "Piles" tab.   

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
