p = Kw + D▼2 ▼2 w
Here, p = load
w = vertical translation

MODULUS OF SUBGRADE REACTION
Pressure sustained per unit deformation of subgrade at
specified deformation or pressure level.
K = q/δ

For footings on clay: k = k1 x Bf
k = k1*
Where,
k = desired value of modulus of subgrade reaction
Bf = footing width
VALUES OF K FOR SLAB ON WINKLER
FOUNDATION
Boit found that he could obtain a good correlation with the
Winkler model for the maximum moment case by setting the
value of k as follows:
Where,
Es = modulus of elasticity of soil
vs = Poisson’s ratio of the soil
B = modulus of elasticity of the beam
I = moment of inertia of the beam
• Vesic showed that K depends upon the stiffness of the
soil, as well as the stiffness of the structure.
k = = 40 qnu
Values of modulus of subgrade reaction
(suggested by Bowles 1982)
Type of Soil K (KN/m2/m)
Loose sand 4800 - 16000
Medium dense sand 9600 - 80000
Dense sand 64000 - 128000
Clayey medium dense sand 32000 - 80000
Silty medium dense sand 24000 - 48000
Clayey soil : qu < 200 Kpa 12000 - 24000
200<qu<400 Kpa 24000 - 48000
qu> 800 Kpa >48000
