In practice do you use Bowles suggestions for the subgrade modulus of reaction, ks equal to: ks = 12*Factor of Safety*Allowable Bearing Capacity????????
ks=12*FS*qa

Hi: If I have the soil study of a site and they give me the allowable soil bearing pressure of the soil to be 3 kcf. What is the Subgrade modulus of reaction of the soil? Hope anyone can help me.
