I want to calculate the stiffness of spring for Winkler foundation from different soil type. Can anyone derived or calculated the spring stiffness for Winkler foundation based on different soil type such as wet, dry or sand ?
Indian standard code IS: 2911 (Part 1 to 4) is related to pile foundation design in which the subgrade modulus is given with respect to different soils. This can be used as a spring constant for different soils.
Thanks a lot for sharing this valuable and knowledgeable report with me. I fully understood the concept to calculate the equivalent stiffness of spring for elastic foundation.
