Factor of safety — See also: safety factor (plasma physics) Factor of safety (FoS), also known as safety factor (SF), is a term describing the structural capacity of a system beyond the expected loads or actual loads. Essentially, how much stronger the system is… … Wikipedia
factor of safety — i. A design factor used to provide for the possibility of loads greater than those assumed, and for uncertainties in design and fabrication. (ICAO). In aircraft design, the margin of strength against loads greater than the limit load normally 1.5 … Aviation dictionary
Evidence-based design — is a process used by architects, interior designers, facility managers, and others in the planning, design, and construction of commercial buildings. An evidence based designer, together with an informed client, makes decisions based on the best… … Wikipedia
Fault-tolerant design — In engineering, Fault tolerant design, also known as fail safe design, is a design that enables a system to continue operation, possibly at a reduced level (also known as graceful degradation), rather than failing completely, when some part of… … Wikipedia
Space elevator safety — There are many safety issues associated with the construction and operation of a space elevator. A space elevator would present a considerable navigational hazard, both to aircraft and spacecraft. Aircraft could be dealt with by means of simple… … Wikipedia
