Abstract:Structural foundations are tested during installation to verify that their factored bearing resistance exceeds the factored design load. Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is the current method for structural analysis, which includes factors to account for the uncertainty of the design loads on, and the expected resistance of, structural foundations. These factors are derived from statistical analyses of databases comparing design methods and load tests on real components. They are re-examined and updated regularly as new methods of testing and new methods of calculation are developed.
