Modulus of Subsoil Reaction According to Vesic
The modulus of subsoil reaction is provided by:
where: | Ep | - | modulus of elasticity of pile [MPa] |
Ip | - | moment of inertia of pile [m4] | |
Es | - | modulus of elasticity of soil [MPa] | |
d | - | pile diameter [m] | |
ν | - | Poisson's ratio [-] |
