How can the concept of factor of safety be applied to the design of embankments on compressible soils?

A factor of safety of 1.5 must be applied to the prescribed limit load which are considered external loads on the structure. This is how much stress a human operator is required to withstand as part of the work/work processes. Just like in the example above, if the Human Capacity and ...
