Class C Bedding = Load Factor of 1.5Safety Factor
8" Extra Strength VCP = 2200 Bearing Strength (the minimum per ASTM C700)
Load Factor x Minimum Pipe Bearing Strength = Field Supporting Strength
1.5 X 2200 = 3300 Load Bearing Capacity
3300 Load Bearing Capacity (from Load Factor example)
2540 Trench Load (a function of soil type, soil weight, trench depth, and width)
Field Supporting Strength / Backfill Load = Safety Factor
3300 / 2540 = 1.3 Safety Factor
