The purpose of the present study is to estimate horizontal subgrade reaction coefficient (k(h)) of piles from SPT N-value that is required to design piles against horizontal loading.
by Prasad ·. The modulus of the subgrade reaction of soil is considered when the elastic behavior of the soil is used for the analysis. It is the representation of soil in the geotechnical analysis and model. We used the spring element to represent the subgrade reaction. The following equation represent the soil subgrade reaction.
Vertical subgrade reaction acts on the foundation bottom surface, and in the case of an embedded structure, horizontal subgrade reaction acts on the embedded part.
The constant horizontal subgrade reaction of the soil ((n_{h})) for the isolated pile varies with the values of the displacement (y_{0}), according to the data of the inclinometer, given by Fig. 6, was adjusted by the method of least squares, in the graph of Fig. 6, it has the following expression:
where k i the coefficient of subgrade reaction, assumed to be a function of relative density of soil only, and EI is the bending tiffne s of the pile. Terzaghi (1) has shown that the horizontal coefficient of subgrade reaction kh at depth Z, for a pile with diameter B, in sand can be found as (2)
2.1 Definition of modulus of subgrade reaction, k. The modulus of subgrade reaction is a conceptual relationship between applied pressure and deflection for a plate resting on an elastic support system. The defining equation is k=q/ where q=pressure, =deflection and k is known as the modulus of subgrade reaction (units F/L3) –sometimes called ...

RE: Modulus Subgrade Reaction, k- horizontal and vertical, piles in clay Settingsun (Structural) 2 Jan 21 21:46 You will need to iterate if using Winkler springs because the top spring will initially try to resist all the load and exceed the capacity of the ground that the spring represents.
The coefficient of subgrade reaction for an isolated and raft foundation based on Bowels bearing capacity varies between 24.8 to 26.1 MN/m 3 to 13.6 to 15.4 MN/m 3, respectively.
Regardless of the soil type, we can simply define the stiffness based on the horizontal subgrade reaction, Kh, called k-value. I believe that the engineer must know about this how we can get this value. Basically it must come from lap, or field test like SPT(Standard penetration test).
The paper pertains to the development of a new relationship expressing the Winkler modulus of subgrade reaction as a function of elastic parameters such as the modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio of the foundation soil, and the relative rigidity of the foundation soil and the beam resting over the same. It ensures that the maximum values …
Also, K=N(sub h)*depth, so N(sub h) has units of Force/Length^3. Technically, N(sub H) is the "constant of modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction" or the "coefficient of variation of horizontal subgrade reaction". K is the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction. Okay, you probably knew all that, but I wanted to make sure we're …
The subgrade reaction is the resistance from peripheral ground layers. It is a reaction force which depends on the ground displacement. It is assumed to be proportional to …

The 1993 AASHTO Guide recommends for subgrade soils that field M R values be multiplied by a factor of up to 0.33 for flexible pavements and up to 0.25 for rigid pavements to adjust to design M R values. NCHRP 1-37A recommends adjustment factors of 0.40 for subgrade soils and 0.67 for granular bases and subbases under flexible pavements.

where Ks, P, and S are subgrade reaction modulus, pressure, and vertical settlement, respectively. Boussinesq considered a more realistic model than the Winkler model and showed that the distribution of displacements is continuous [27]. Filonenko-Borodich [28] and Hetenyi [29,30] proposed some modifications to the Winkler model. …

When a pile is subjected to a horizontal load, the soil is forced to develop its maximum lateral resistance which is known as the passive state lateral pressure. The maximum value of coefficient K is denoted as KP. This coefficient is a function of the soil friction angle (φ, in degrees) and is calculated as: The maximum devel…
Relation of load, deflection and modulus of subgrade reaction (k). The value of k is in terms of MPa/m (pounds per square inch per inch of deflection, or pounds per cubic inch – pci) and ranges from about 13.5 MPa/m (50 pci) for weak support, to over 270 MPa/m (1000 pci) for strong support.
