Hi,
I have read thread256-285800 and got stuck here:
"If you look at Bowles Table 9-1, modulus subgrade, kv (kN/m3)
approx equal to 240 Cu (kPa).
Allowable bearing pressure, qa (kPa) = Nc Cu / SF = (5.14 /3) Cu..."
Bowles Table 9-1 shows ks (not kv), and there is no Cu there...
Also, where is the 5.14 value coming from?
Thanks.
