Mar 28, 2012 · Hello, I am working on the geotechnical investigation for a 25 story tower project. After computing the stimated elastic settlements (using sigma - W) (project is located on a weathered …

Mar 16, 2005 · Can anyone suggest ways of accurately estimating the Modulus of Subgrade Reaction for a soil. Available parameters: SPT N values, Moisture, Unconfined Compressive Strength & Angle …

Apr 14, 2016 · The modulus of subgrade reaction is a basis for structural engineers to evaluate deformation from point loads that may or may not be applied to the slab. Say, you know a racking …

Sep 18, 2023 · Even mat foundations can be designed without subgrade modulus. Just to be clear, I know subgrade modulus is still used for pavement and sometimes slab-on-grade designs. However, …

Aug 17, 2010 · We are constructing a 10" gravel roadway over existing surface. No cutting of existing ground will occur. Is it normal to run a roller over the existing ground and get our 95% compaction …

May 7, 2002 · I need to know if there is a correlation, a formula or any method to determine the modulus of subgrade reaction using the DCP index or CBR values. I want to evaluate de CBR and modulus of …

Oct 25, 2007 · Subgrade modulus is an area value, so it's handled on a per area basis, and engineering programs use these values to calculate nodal spring constants. On a large mat foundation, you may …

Jul 9, 2012 · In general, lateral subgrade reaction is 1.5 to 2 times the vertical subgrade reaction. To obtain lateral subgrade modulus, multiply the lateral subgrade reaction with pile or pier diameter or …
