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. . The following equations represent this condition:
where: | [C] | - | matrix of constants C1 a C2 |
b | - | half-width of foundation | |
c1w, c2w | - | Winkler’s constants | |
H | depth of the deformation zone |
