Shear modulus and Modulus of subgrade reaction and soil-strain

Shear modulus and Modulus of subgrade reaction and soil-strain

Shear modulus and Modulus of subgrade reaction and soil-strain

(OP)
Hi:

I am looking for an empirical relationship between the shear modulus of soil and the lateral modulus of subgrade reaction, and the shear modulus and the soil strain E50 (axial strain that correspond to laf the deviator stress in a triaxial stress). Any hints?
I need that values to perform a lateral soil analyses along a drilled shaft foundation.



Thanks

RE: Shear modulus and Modulus of subgrade reaction and soil-strain

What computer program are you using?  What soil properties have you measured?  What will the drilled pier(s) support?  (i.e. describe your problem - )

Keep in mind that soils are inherently non-linear.  There's no such thing as "the" soil shear modulus, Young's modulus, or modulus of subgrade reaction.  The proper answer to your question does not lie in a table in some textbook or technical paper...
