However, if the tree is planted at the top of the slope this could reduce the factor of safety by 10 %.
22.
The result of the rational analysis times the appropriate factor of safety will be used as the design strength of the section.
23.
The cause of much confusion is that various reference books and standards agencies use the factor of safety definitions and terms differently.
24.
UTEXAS employs a fast automatic search algorithm to find the failure surface with the lowest factor of safety with respect to shear strength.
25.
For loading that is cyclical, repetitive, or fluctuating, it is important to consider the possibility of metal fatigue when choosing factor of safety.
26.
A factor of safety greater than one generally implies a stable slope, failure of which should not occur assuming the slope is undisturbed.
27.
Stability is ultimately decided by a factor of safety equal to the ratio of shear strength to the equilibrium stresses along the failure surface.
28.
This factor of safety is typically 166.66 %, 143 % or 150 % of the designed working pressure, depending on the regulations that apply.
29.
The one-way communications flow adds a factor of safety, even though the wireless network is protected against outside interference, such as a denial-of-service attack.
30.
The purpose of maintaining a factor of safety on yield strength is to prevent detrimental deformations that would impair the use of the structure.
