Design of Slabs-on-Ground

3.4—Modulus of subgrade reaction
3.4.1 Introduction—Design methods listed in 
Chapter 2
,
including Westergaard’s (Westergaard 1923, 1926) pioneering
work on rigid pavement analysis, employ the modulus of
subgrade reaction as a single property to represent the
supporting capacity to be used in design. This modulus, also
called the modulus of soil reaction or Winkler foundation, is
a spring constant that assumes a linear response between
load and deformation from the subgrade.
Actually, there is no single k value for a subgrade because
the relationship between load and deformation of a soil is
nonlinear and is not a fundamental soil property. A typical
nonlinear relationship between a normal compressive load
and the resulting deformation for an area is depicted in 
Fig. 3.2

Group

Typical names
Coarse-grained soils 
(more than half of 
material is larger than 
No. 200 sieve* [75 
μm])
Gravels (more than half 
of coarse fraction is 
larger than No. 4 sieve
*
[4.75 mm])
Clean gravels (little or 
no fines)
Wide range in grain size and 
substantial amounts of all intermediate 
particle sizes
GW
Well-graded gravel,
gravel-sand mixtures,
little or no fines
Predominantly one size or a range of 
sizes with some intermediate sizes 
missing
GP
Poorly graded gravels, 
gravel-sand mixtures,
little or no fines
Gravel with fines
(appreciable amount of 
fines)
Nonplastic fines (for identification 
procedures, refer to CL below)
GM
Silty gravels, poorly graded 
gravel-sand-silt mixtures
Plastic fines (for identification
procedures, refer to ML below)
GC
Clayey gravels, poorly graded 
gravel-sand-clay mixtures
Sands (more than half
of coarse fraction is 
smaller than No. 4 sieve

[4.75 mm])
Clean sands (little or no 
fines)
Wide range in grain sizes and 
substantial amounts of all intermediate
