Question: For a 2.0 m wide and 0.40 m thick beam on elastic foundation, determine the coefficient of subgrade reaction k using Eqs. (10.45) and (10.46),

For a 2.0 m wide and 0.40 m thick beam on elastic foundation, determine the coefficient of subgrade reaction k using Eqs. (10.45) and (10.46), assuming the following parameters: Es = 30 MN/m2, EF = 30,000 MN/m2, ms = 0.25.


Eqs. (10.45)

E,B EFIF B(1 - u) E, k = 0.65. %3D


Eqs. (10.46)

E,B EFIF B(1 - u) E, k = 0.65. %3D

E,B EFIF B(1 - u) E, k = 0.65. %3D
