Factored and unfactored loads are used for different purposes and structural performances. These are:-

A factored load is a load multiplied by a certain factor designated by codes of practice to drermine the strength of a structural members such as reinforced concrete.
Unfactored load is a service load to determine the working stress of a structural concrete, steel, or wood member.
Each load type is employed to meet a certain limit state. The factored loads are used to meet the ultimate or nonlinear limit state (beyond yield limit) of structural members. Whereas the unfactored loads are used to meet the elastic or linear limit state (below the yield limit) of structural members.
