The reduction factor applied to the "failure condition" to achieve satisfactory service of a structure, foundation soil or earthwork, etc. The actual factor of safety applied will depend on the problem and the degree of certainty existing on the accuracy of the available strength parameters of the material involved and of the loadings and stress distributions. 3, record 1, English, - factor%20of%20safety

El coeficiente de seguridad real es la relación entre las solicitaciones que producen la rotura y las máximas previstas en el cálculo. Si, por ejemplo, un depósito se calcula para soportar una presión de 10 kg por cm² y en la realidad puede soportar 50 kg por cm² el coeficiente de seguridad es 5. 2, record 1, Spanish, - factor%20de%20seguridad
