GGU-LATPILE: "Subgrade reaction moduli" menu item

As the analysis is to be performed for an elastically embedded pile toe, it is necessary to enter a modulus of subgrade reaction. In this dialog box you can enter the profile of the subgrade reaction moduli.

The number of subgrade reaction moduli can be adapted to your system using the "x subgrade moduli to edit" button.

In the field designated "mu ks" the tangential bedding is given as a multiple of the horizontal bedding. However, the factor is generally of little importance, since the pile toe is considered to be vertically non-displaceable, meaning that deformations in a longitudinal direction, and any associated tangential subgrade reaction moduli, are small.

The units can be changed from MN/m³ to kN/m³ and vice versa using the "Subgrade reaction modulus unit: kN/m³" check box.
