Modulus of Subsoil Reaction

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

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

where:

p

-

load acting along the slab-soil interface

k

-

stiffness of the Winkler spring

y

-

translation of the slab into the subsoil
