Factors of safety, is also known as safety factor, is a term describing the load carrying capacity of a system beyond the expected or actual loads. Essentially, the factor of safety is how much stronger the system is usually that needs to be for an intended load. Safety factors are often calculated using detailed analysis because comprehensive testing is impractical on many projects, such as bridges and buildings, but the structure's ability to carry load must be determined to a reasonable accur
*a factor of 4 is used to estimate the nitrogen losses from non-urine sources (sweat, feces, etc.). If the nitrogen balance is 0, the person is consuming the correct amount of protein for maintenance. If the nitrogen balance is negative, increase the protein intake by a factor determined by multiplying the nitrogen balance figure by 6.25.
