Modulus of subsoil reaction

The following options are available in the program to introduce the modulus of subsoil reactions:

- in the form of distribution (the assumed distribution of the modulus of subsoil reaction in front and behind the structure is inputted)

- as a soil parameter with a respective value (either linear or nonlinear)

- according to Schmitt

- according to CUR166

- according to Ménard

- according to Chadeisson

- iterate using deformation characteristics of soils

The modulus of horizontal reaction of a soil body generally corresponds to spring stiffness in the Winkler model describing the relation between load applied to a rigid plate and the resulting soil deformation in the form:

where: p - load acting along plate-soil interface
k - stiffness of Winkler spring
y - translation of plate into subsoil
