Full TextAbstract
Recent developments and advancements in soil models and computer programs failed to prevent structural engineering to use one the most elementary theories in modeling of the soil-structure interaction, i.e. Winkler’s model. Superseding the soil with all its complexity with a series of uncoupled, independent springs whose stiffness known as the modulus of subgrade reaction -Ks-, imposes many non-avoidable errors to the model. In the first two parts of the paper, the impact of soil foundation system stiffness on the Ks distribution alongside the precision of the theoretical relations for Ks estimation are investigated as the basis for the proposed dividing technique presented in the rest of the article.
