1 Rarely, fistulas occur externally to the skin or internally to another part of the biliary tree, to the pleural cavity or bronchial tree, or to the hepatic artery or portal vein or other vascular structures.
Load factor (aeronautics) In aeronautics, the load factor is defined as the ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weight and represents a global measure of the stress (load) to which the structure of the aircraft is subjected: where: Since the load factor is the ratio of two forces, it is dimensionless.
That is, the âfailure loadâ (i.e., pile capacity) is the load that causes a pile head movement equal to the calculated elastic compression plus 4 mm plus an additional 1/30 of the pile width. This modification of the commonly used procedure proposed by Davisson (1972) is applied because the piles exceed 610 mm in size.
