- using the winkler mat on elastic foundations we need the soil modulus of subgrade constant. In the Pasternak model we need two soil parameter . Can anyone provide me with these soil parameters for clay and sand?
Pastermak model related soil parameters were reported in many literature, find attached some of the paper related to your question. Hope, you will get the information from the attached files. All the best in your research.
Dear Amir
I think that the attached file is suitable for your work.
Dear Prof. Karthigeyan and Dr. Jamkhaneh:
Thank you for sharing these articles. None of the papers you've attached present information on the soil parameters needed to solve the models. I am familiar with the mathematical models for both Winkler and Pasternak. However, I was searching for new methodologies for estimating the k and T (sometime called G) values used in these mathematical models. Ranges for k are well known and relate to the plate tests and CBR. Unfortunately, these estimates are limited to shallow depths. Are you familiar with new methods for estimating these soil parameters for clay, sand, etc.? Thanks.
