    This paper discusses methods for evaluating coefficients of subgrade reaction, which represent the resistance of soil to loads from structures. The author examines in-situ plate load tests, where a loaded plate is placed on the ground surface and settlement is measured. He also considers theoretical analyses using elastic theory to model soil-structure interaction. The paper concludes that both approaches can provide useful estimates of subgrade reaction, but in-situ tests are preferable when possible due to uncertainties in theoretical analyses.
