MODUL REAKCIJE TAL

Modulus of Subsoil Reaction According to Schmitt

This analysis of the modulus of subsoil reaction builds on the relation between oedometric modulus and bending stiffness of the structure introduced by
Schmitt in Revue Francaise de Géotechnique no. 71 and 74:

where: EI - bending stiffness of the structure [MNm2/m]

Eoed - oedometric modulus [MPa]
This method is not available for the structures from plastic sheet piles.

MODUL REAKCIJE TAL
Modulus of Subsoil Reaction
The following options are available in the program to introduce the modulus of subsoil reaction:
• in the form of distribution (input distribution of the modulus of subsoil reaction kh in front and behind the structure is input)
• as a soil parameter with a respective value (either linear or nonlinear - curve)
• according to Schmitt
• according to Chadeisson
• according to CUR 166
• iterate by using deformation characteristics of soils
• input results of pressuremeter test (according to NF P 94-282, according to Menard)
• input results of dilatometric test (DMT)
• according to Chinese standards ("c", "k" or "m" method)
The modulus of horizontal reaction of a soil body generally corresponds to 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 slab-soil interface

k - stiffness of Winkler spring
y - translation of slab into subsoil
