Spring Constants – Semi-Rigid Column Head, Elastic Surface Foundation, Considering Shear Stiffness

Using these formulas, you can calculate the spring constants for the stiffnesses using a fictitious column for a semi-rigid support and an elastic surface foundation while considering the shear stiffness.

C_{u X} = \frac{12 \cdot E I_{z}}{h^{3} \cdot A_{head} \cdot (4 + k_{z})} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{36 \cdot E I_{z}}{A_{head} \cdot h^{3} \cdot (1 + k_{z}) \cdot (4 + k_{z})}

C_{u Y} = \frac{12 \cdot E I_{y}}{h^{3} \cdot A_{head} \cdot (4 + k_{y})} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{36 \cdot E I_{y}}{A_{head} \cdot h^{3} \cdot (1 + k_{y}) \cdot (4 + k_{y})}

C_{u Z} = \frac{E A}{h \cdot A_{head}}

C_{φ Y} = 2 \cdot \frac{E I_{z}}{\cdot A_{head} \cdot h \cdot (1 + k_{z})} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{E I_{z}}{A_{head} \cdot h \cdot (1 + k_{z})}

C_{φ X} = \frac{2 \cdot E I_{y}}{A_{head} \cdot h \cdot (1 + k_{y})} + \frac{X}{100} \cdot \frac{E I_{y}}{A_{head} \cdot h \cdot (1 + k_{y})}
