(ks)A
(ks)B = 1.5 (ks)A
(ks)C = 2 (ks)A
Example of Determining
Coefficient of Subgrade Reaction
Solution AC = (50)(30) - 469 - 375 = 656 m2
AA = (25)(15) = 375 m2
Example of Determining Coefficient
of Subgrade Reaction
Solution
Write the averaging equation A k + A k + A k = A + A + A k
for the ks values A s A B s B C s C A B C s avg
Substitute into (ks)b and (ks)c 375k s A + 4691.5k s A + 6562k s A = 1500k s avg
the equivalent value of (ks)a 2390k = 1500k
s A s avg
