ABSTRACT

The recommended safety approach is based on the regulations of Eurocode 7.1. In Appendix A of this code, the partial resistance factors and the correlation factors to derive characteristic and design values are presented for the Static Load Test (SLT) and the Dynamic Load Test (DLT). No factors related to RLT are presented. Because the character of RLT is between SLT and DLT, the recommended safety approach is also in between SLT and DLT.
