Wall Partial Factors

The verification analysis is performed for two sets of coefficients:

  • Combination A - generates maximum foundation bearing pressure
  • Combination B - generates the worst case for sliding along the base

The following partial factors are applied:

Partial factors of soil properties

Partial factor on internal friction
