load factor

Standards
factor specified in this Standard for structural design to be used with the loads (or actions) in deriving design loads (or design actions)
Source - AS 2002: Earth-retaining structures
HB50
<energy> ratio of the average energy used within a specific period to that required at peak demand for a corresponding period
<structure> numerical value, used in limit states structural design, by which the load which would cause failure of a structure is divided, to give the maximum permissible working load on the structure
The load factors may occur in combination and, for serviceability, different load factors are used for short-term and long-term effects.
