Introduction
It is dened as the !contact" #earing pressure ofthe foundation against the soi$ that %i$$ produce aunit de&ection of the foundation.
Modu$us of su#grade reaction is the reaction
pressure sustained #' the soi$ samp$e under a rigidp$ate of standard diameter per unit sett$ementmeasured at a specied pressure or sett$ement
(he use of the parameter imp$ies a $inear e$astic
response) and therefore in design the pressuregenerated #' the su#grade modu$us is a$%a's$imited #' the a$$o%a#$e #earing pressure of thesoi$.

In practice) the parameter is oftenrecommended #' the *eotechnica$+ngineer and used #' the Structura$
+ngineer for ana$'sis of the structure. (hestructura$ ana$'sis is not on$' used togain insight into the sett$ement of thestructure) #ut a$so pro,ides consideration
of sett$ement-induced stresses %ithin thestructure.
