Horizontal Modulus of Subgrade Reaction
Horizontal Modulus of Subgrade Reaction
(OP)
Does anyone know if there is an accepted way of determining the horizontal modulus of subgrade reaction from a laboratory test or maybe the results from other lab tests such as direct shear? I've seen charts based on blow counts but am curious if another method, other than an it-situ test, is available.

What are you designing? What is the site like? These will affect our answers.
And please remember that there is no such thing as "the" modulus of subgrade reaction - it's nothing more than a computational convenience.
