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 | fms | 1.00 |
Partial factor on effective cohesion | fms | 1.60 |
Partial factor on undrained shear strength | fms | 1.00 |
Resistance factors | ||
Resistance factor on sliding | fs | 1.20 |
Resistance factor on bearing capacity | fms | 1.35 |
Resistance factor for pullout of reinforcement | fp | 1.30 |
Partial factors of slip on reinforcement | fs | 1.30 |
Partial factors | Combination A | Combination B | |
Dead load of structural components | ffs | 1.50 | 1.00 |
Earth pressure - active | ffs | 1.50 | 1.50 |
Permanent load - on the block | fs | 1.50 | 1.00 |
Permanent load - behind the block | fs | 1.50 | 1.50 |
Variable load - on the block | fq | 1.50 | 0.00 |
Variable load - behind the block | fq | 1.50 | 1.50 |
Loads acting favourable | f | 1.00 | 1.00 |
