NOTE :- Provide springs in the base as
1. At corners
2. At the pts of faces of walls.
3. Distance between remaining nodes = 0.875 m 0.875

Therefore, number of springs = 11

projection= 0 m
CALCULATION OF SPRING CONSTANTS

S.B.C for design = 20 Mt/m
Assume settlement below foundation = 25 mm
2
Therefore Mod. Of subgrade rxn 'K' = 2000 Mt/m /m
Spring constant = Force req. to cause unit deflection.
Spring constant Kfy = K x A
Generally Kfx = 0.5 Kfy
Area 'A' = (Half distance on either side of spring) x (width)
And width is kept as 1m.

Distance Kfy = K x Kfx 'X' co-
