For the design of shallow foundations under combined loading Eurocode 7 provides different partial safety factors for unfavourable and favourable actions and for different ultimate limit states. Several load combinations need to be checked to find the most critical combination of loading and limit state which governs design. Hence, the resulting safety is often not apparent. This paper illustrates the role of actions within the design of shallow foundations and points out the effects on the safety of the system.
