Abstract

In this paper, a methodology is proposed to apply the Safety Theory in the obtaining of safety factor systems required in the geotechnical design of the foundations using Limit-States Method. The entire mathematical formulation that facilitates the application of the safety theory as well as the integral methodology for the safety factor systems to be used is defined. In addition, a practical example is developed where it is allowed to value the security introduced in the design.
