Toe Resistance using Allowable Load and Safety Factor Formula Elements

Variables
Toe Resistance
Toe Resistance is the capacity of the soil at the base or toe of a structure (such as a retaining wall, foundation, or slope) to resist sliding or overturning.
Symbol: Q bu
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Allowable Load
Allowable Load is the maximum working load that can be applied on the structure.
Symbol: Pallow
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Factor of Safety in Pile Foundation
Factor of Safety in Pile Foundation is the ratio of the ultimate capacity of the pile to the working load (the load the pile is designed to carry safely).
Symbol: Fs
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shaft Resistance
Shaft Resistance is the load-bearing capacity of deep foundations such as piles or drilled shafts, derived from the frictional resistance along the sides of the shaft.
Symbol: Q su
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
