+ additional parameters if post-tensioned & calcd per PTI method (rectangular only?).
The "best" soils reports I have seen so far require the mat slab be able to span a void of 10' diameter, and able to cantilever 5' at any edges! No other requirements!

Subject: Subgrade Modulus for Mat Foundations
As a geotechnical engineer, I wish to provide geotechnical design parameters to the structural engineer for design of a large (100 to 200 foot) circular mat foundation. What parameters does the structural expect? What units (US job) are used for the design?
Thanks
