DESCRIPTION
Bowles Horizontal or Lateral Modulus of Subgrade ReactionTRANSCRIPT
Bowles suggested a form for either a horizontal or lateral modulus of subgrade reaction is
Where = constant for either horizontal or vertical members
= coefficient for depth variation
Z = depth of interest below ground
n = exponent to give ks the best fit (if load test or other data are available)
