SAFETY FACTORS Adding a safety factors is good engineering practice. The suggested minimum safety factor is 1.75x. The guideline suggestion is that any foundation plan included a statement of the safety factor used throughout the drawing. This is commonly listed in a NOTES section. 7. DEFLECTION ON LOAD BEARING SURFACES It is desirable to define a maximum deflection of the load bearing surface. For example, a maximum deflection of 1/16” on both vertical and horizontal surfaces should be obtainable by most qualified foundation contractors. 8. SHIMMING & LEVELING High strength grout and fabreeka pads are preferred to shims because they provide much better load bearing capabilities than shims. 9. CONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT It is highly suggested that either the machine OEM or the responsible owner maintain open lines of communication with the foundation contractor. There is a varying degree of information required between foundation contractors and being clear between owner and contractor will help to eliminate errors in design and execution. 4.
