What is the primary purpose of using factors of safety in structural design?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that structures like buildings and bridges need to be strong and safe.
Step 2: Recognize that there are many uncertainties in construction, such as how strong materials are and how much weight they will hold.
Step 3: Learn that a factor of safety is a number that engineers use to make sure structures can handle more than the expected loads.
Step 4: Realize that using factors of safety helps prevent failures and accidents by providing a buffer for unexpected conditions.
