Calculation of spring constant

Allowable Bearing pressure is calculated as 14.74 t/m2.

However the bearing pressure is taken as 15 t/m2 Conservatively in design calculations

Bearing pressure = P = 15 T/m2

Settlment below foun. = 25 mm
Modules of sub grade K = 600 T/m3

Spring constant = Force Required to cause unit deflection in Y-direction = KFY = K x A

Generally = KXY = KFY/2

Area = A = (Half distance on either side of node) x (width)

Here width = 1 m
