Zusammenfassung:The paper outlines the ultimate and serviceability limit states in geotechnical engineering practice. The magnitude of conventional partial and total safety factors in earthworks, earth retaining structures and foundations are discussed in terms of the reliability of the subsoil and loading conditions and the probability and seriousness of failure of the structure during its service life. The serviceability of structures and foundations are treated on the basis of empirical damage criteria related to relative rotation and deflection ratios of foundations supporting different types of buildings and engineering structures.
