From page 5...
... 2.4 Development of Resistance Factors through Calibration of Load-Test Data Resistance factors for the design of SNWs were developed and calibrated applying reliability methods and using the values contained in the soil nail test database. The calibration was conducted using the procedures presented in the publication "Development of Geotechnical Resistance Factors and Downdrag Load Factors for LRFD Foundation Strength Limit State Design" (Allen, 2005)
