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.

After the soil samples are taken and the soil properties determined, the engineer must design the foundation. It typically takes the engineer 4.75 days to design a foundation with a standard deviation of 0.83 days. Use this information and the information provided in Problem I to answer the following questions: a. What is the probability of completing all of the work (field sampling, testing, and design) within 43.5 days? b. The engineer completes the field sampling and testing in 36 days. What duration of the design work should be planned in order to ensure with 85% confidence that all of all of the work will be completed within 43.5 days?
