Factor of Safety 6
Factor of Safety 6 : The factor of safety, also known as Safety Factor, is used to provide a design margin over the theoretical design capacity to allow for uncertainty in the design process. The uncertainty could be any one of a number of the components of the design process including calculations and material strengths for example. Commonly, a factor of safety of less than 1, for instance, on an engineered slope indicates potential failure, where a factor of safety of greater than 1, indicates stability
