Factor of Safety for Soil Bearing Capacity: Complexity of Parameters and deciding Criteria

This Lecture 117 in series of my YouTube Channel "Geotechnical Engineering Consultancy" describes and discusses about governing factors & criteria for deciding factor of safety in preparation of Subsurface Investigation Report for calculating bearing capacity of footings/foundations from shear criteria with final governance from being settlement criteria, it’s definition as per National Building Code of India referring to few clauses of it, reviewing the complexity of parameters involved, factors which decide the Factor of Safety (FoS) value to be adopted in bearing capacity calculations, usual FoS values taken, incremental factor of safety if Bearing Capacity is governed by settlement criteria, factor of safety involved against sliding and overturning of structures as per IS: 1904 – 2021 and factor of safety involved in other foundations like deep, machine and tower foundations.
