From page 1...
... These data were used to identify and group trends related to the character of the fill or in-situ earth materials, reinforcement type, and various site conditions. Based on these trends, the reliability of metal-loss modeling and service-life predictions were computed and the corresponding biases with respect to nominal tensile strengths used in design were evaluated and then used to calibrate appropriate resistance factors for use in load and resistance factor design (LRFD)
