Calculation of Winkler-Pasternak constants from deformation parameters of soils

The Winkler – Pasternak constants C1 and C2 are calculated in the program from the condition of equal compliance matrices of infinitely stiff infinite strip footing resting on the Winkler – Pasternak and elastic subsoil. This condition is represented by the following equalities:

where: [C] - matrix of constants C1 a C2
b - half width of foundation
c1w, c2w - Winkler’s constants
H depth of deformation zone
