A spread footing supported on a sandy soil has been designed using ASD to support a certaincolumn load with a factor of safety of 2.5 against a bearing capacity failure. However, there issome uncertainty in both the column load, P, and the friction angle, f. Which would have thegreatest impact on the actual factor of safety: an actual P that is twice the design value, or actualf that is half the design value? Use bearing capacity computations with reasonable assumedvalues to demonstrate the reason for your response.

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.
