Chapter 2, Problem 2.8QPP
The capacity for a certain foundation system is estimated to be 620 kN with a COV of 0.3. The demand on the foundation is estimated to be 150 kN with a COV of 0.15. Compute the mean factor of safety of this foundation and its probability of failure assuming both capacity and demand are normally distributed.
