Value of Parameter obtained from Hydrological Considerations given Safety Factor

Go Value of Parameter = Actual Value of the Parameter/Safety Factor

Actual Value of Parameter Adopted in Design of Project given Safety Factor

Go Actual Value of the Parameter = Safety Factor*Value of Parameter

Equation for Safety Factor

Go Safety Factor = Actual Value of the Parameter/Value of Parameter

Equation for Safety Margin

Go Safety Margin = Actual Value of the Parameter-Value of Parameter

Reliability using Return Period

Go Reliability = (1-(1/Return Period))^Successive Years

Equation for Risk given Return Period

Go Risk = 1-(1-(1/Return Period))^Successive Years

Equation for Risk

Go Risk = 1-(1-Probability)^Successive Years

Probability given Return Period

Go Probability = 1/Return Period

Return Period given Probability

Go Return Period = 1/Probability

Reliability given Risk

Go Reliability = 1-Risk

Risk given Reliability

Go Risk = 1-Reliability

Equation for Safety Factor Formula

Safety Factor = Actual Value of the Parameter/Value of Parameter
SF_m = C_am/C_hm

What is Safety Factor in Civil Engineering?

The Safety factor is defined as the factor used in the design of the structure so that the value of the stresses coming on the structure due to applied loads does not exceed the design strength of the materials used in the structure.
