Geotechnical Reduction Factor (øg)
Education
The geotechnical reduction factor is a risk-based calculation
for the ultimate design which takes into account di erent
factors, such as site conditions, pile design, and installation
factors. Its value ranges commonly from 0.40 to 0.90. AS
2159 4.3.1 also states how to estimate its value as shown in
equation (3).

The values for the strength reduction factor are shown in
Table 3. The concrete placement factor ranges from 0.75 to
1.0, depending on the pile construction method. However,
for piles other than concrete and grout, k shall be taken as
1.0.
