Q. What can understand by the factor of safety equal to one?

  • (A) it means that the structure will fail under load
  • (B) it means that the structure will only support the actual load
  • (C) it means that the structure will support more than the actual load
  • (D) there is no relation between factor safety and load application

Explanation by: Admin

when the factor of safety is one it means that the ultimate stress is equal to the working stress and therefore the body can only support load up to actual load and no more before failing.
