Modulus of subsoil reaction

This frame serves to specify a type of analysis for computation of the modulus of subsoil reaction, which is an important input parameter when analyzing a structure using the method of dependent pressures.

The program makes it possible to input the distribution of the modulus of subsoil reaction (along the length of a structure, as a soil parameter), iterate from soil material parameters, or to compute it. The modulus of subsoil reaction can be either linear or nonlinear.

Selecting the option "Input by distribution" opens a table in the frame that allows for specifying the values of the modulus of subsoil reaction both in front and behind the structure. When selecting other options the required information needed to compute the modulus value are inputted as soil parameters in the frame "Soils".
