(Bond, Harris: Decoding Eurocode 7)
Mobilization factors reduce the passive earth pressure (or other bearing
resistance) to allowable value. The standard does not specify how low this
fraction (a sufficiently low fraction of the ground strength is mobilised)
should be.
For conventional structures founded on clays:
Verification of serviceability: Ek<=Rk/3
Ek: characteristic effect of actions,
Rk: characteristic resistance
3: partial resistance factor of serviceability limit state (mobilization
factor)
