During testing the Boeing 777 wing failed at 154% of the design load. The Boeing engineers were hoping the B777 wing would fail at 157%.

The A380 wing failed between 145% and 150% of the design limit. For all intents and purposes, it sounds like the A380 wing failed at the expected limit of approximately 150%.
