Calculate Subgrade Modulus From Soil Bearing Capacity dialog

Used to evaluate the subgrade modulus based on soil bearing capacity, allowable soil settlement, and safety factor.

Opens when the Calculate Subgrade Modulus From Soil Bearing Capacity button is clicked on the Soil Property form is clicked.

SettingDescription
Allowable Bearing Capacity Type the allowable soil bearing capacity in the selected units.
Safety Factor Type the factor of safety.
Allowable Soil Settlement Type the allowable soil settlement corresponding to the allowable soil bearing capacity, in the selected units.
Calculate Click to evaluate the subgrade modulus, Ks.
Assign Click to assign the calculated value for subgrade modulus into the selected row for a meshed region.
Note: If no meshed region is selected in the Soil Property form, then this button is inactive.
Close Closes the dialog.
