AB - One of the issues that arise when using numerical analysis in accordance with Eurocode 7 is how to account for partial factors of safety on material strength. Namely, Eurocode 7 implies that strengths to be used in an analysis should be based on a design value, but reduced by partial factors. This can be done in two ways, but Eurocode 7 gives no guidance as to which one is more appropriate. This paper examines the application of partial factors of safety in a bearing capacity problem. Finite element analyses are performed using both a simple Tresca and a more advanced Modified Cam Clay models to represent soil behaviour, and both approaches for the application of partial factors of safety.
