Soil spring stiffness
Soil spring stiffness
(OP)
Hello All
Could someone please explain why do we provide soil spring for structure for analysis, or the main purpose of it

RE: Soil spring stiffness
Thanks but how we can verify it by using in staadpro or any other FEM software,kindly explain in brief
I have this details with me
bearing capacity = 200KN/m2
allowable settlement = 10mm
FOS = 2

The greatest trick that bond stress ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist.
RE: Soil spring stiffness
The allowable bearing pressure provided by a geotechnical engineer is generally based on limiting settlement to an acceptable value. So, bearing pressure is related to settlement.
In your case, the allowable bearing pressure (200 kN/m2) is directly correlated to a settlement of 10 mm.
Thus, your soil spring constant would be 20,000 kN/m3.

KootK: Yeah I think it would. The 400kPa is the "real" value, although I've always varied springs from 50% to 200% of the given value anyway to be sure the structure isn't too sensitive
