Load Multipliers form
Used to assign multipliers on the column reaction loads contained in the given load case.
The serviceability factor will be applied when checking the base pressure of a foundation (geotechnical design). The design factor will be used for shear and reinforcement design.
Note: By default, STAAD Foundation Advanced assigns values for the safety factors depending on the load type.
Opens when is selected in the Main Navigator pane.

The default values can be changed by inputting new values into the table like any spreadsheet.
Default values in this table are:
- Primary, both the factors will be 1.0.
- Allowable load cases will have Service factor as 1.0 but design factor as 0.0
- Ultimate load cases will have Ultimate factor as 1.0 but service factor as 0.0
