Factor of Safety given Moment of Resistance Formula Elements

Variables
Factor of Safety
Factor of Safety is a measure of the load-carrying capacity of a structure or material compared to the actual load or stress that is applied to it.
Symbol: fs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Resisting Moment
Resisting Moment is the moment (or torque) that counteracts the applied moment or load that tends to cause rotation or failure in a soil mass or structure.
Symbol: MR
