Calculation of Winkler-Pasternak Constants from Deformation Parameters of Soils

The Winkler - Pasternak constants C1 and C2 are calculated 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:

d

where:

[C]

-

matrix of constants C1 a C2

b

-

half width of foundation

c1w, c2w

-

Winkler’s constants

H

depth of the deformation zone
