Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (K) — Multi-Layer Method

Modulus of Subgrade Reaction (K) — Multi-Layer Method

The k-value quantifies how stiff the ground is beneath a concrete slab. This calculator implements the Palmer-Barber multi-layer method, combining the Burmister elastic layer solution with an Ullidtz rigid-plate correction, accounting for intermediate subbase layers to obtain both the dynamic and static k-value in metric units.

3D Mohr Circle

3D Mohr Circle

The Mohr Circle is a graphical representation that allows understanding and calculating principal stresses, maximum shear stresses, and orientations of principal planes at a specific point in a material subjected to loads. The three-dimensional extension provides a more comprehensive and accurate view of stress states in a three-dimensional environment, crucial for the design and analysis of complex structures.

CBR and K-value to Modulus of Elasticity (E) conversion

CBR and K-value to Modulus of Elasticity (E) conversion

For existing pavements originally designed using the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) method, the subgrade modulus can be determined from direct soil testing or using the available CBR values and converting them to an equivalent Modulus of Elasticity using the relationship that appears here.

About the author: Jorge Olavarría Bastidas

Civil Engineer, Chile

Since the year 2014, I started the YouTube channel called 'Ingeniería Elemental'. Later, I created this website to complement the educational content I was publishing on my channel, with web applications, links, and articles of interest.
