The subgrade soil is considered as an infinite array ofThe subgrade soil is considered as an infinite array of individual springs unaffected from the deformation of others.The spring constant is the modulus of subgrade reaction.The following conditions are to be satisfied for this method to be applicablemethod to be applicable
Relative stiffness factor < 0.5Variation of adjacent column load is less than 20% of the higher valuevalue.
The rigid analysis gives relatively more conservative design of the raft against bending moment resulting in much bigger section Hence flexible design is preferablemuch bigger section. Hence, flexible design is preferable from the point of view the economy of structure. Analysis using this approach has been covered under
