Mat Boundary Spring Generator: Input Data & Design Summary

This document provides an analysis of the mat foundation for a structure with the following parameters: - Foundation length of 55 feet and width of 31 feet - Grid tributary area of 1 square foot - Modulus of subgrade reaction (K1) of 100 pounds per cubic inch It then calculates the inside, edge, and corner spring values for the mat foundation based on these input parameters and dimensions. Finally, it provides a table of typical modulus of subgrade reaction values for different soil types and moisture contents.
