The factor of safety is the quotient of the load factor and the capacity reduction factor. Since the biggest load factor is 1.7 and the smallest capacity reduction factor is 0,70, thus the biggest factor of safety is 1.7/0.70 = 2.43. Since the smallest load factor is 1.4 and the biggest capacity reduction factor is 0.90. Thus the smallest factor of safety is 1.4/0.9 = 1.55.
