Safety factors¶

The safety factors must be set with reference to the selected standard. The software divides them in two categories: global verifications and composed verifications.

Global verifications

Internal global stability: are internal stability checks using the limit equilibrium methods to calculate the potential internal slip/sliding surfaces (Tieback and Compound).
