Hi,
I am designing ground beams between pad foundations, and I need to enter elastic ground parameters Ky, Kz, Hx.
I can assume that Kz represents vertical, and Ky is for horizontal coefficient values. I have following questions about this subject:
Kindly provide input.
Thanks

Ky and Kz correspond to the bar local directions.So , check your bar local axes before assuming Kz is for the vertical direction
There is no Kx because this would be the bar axial direction
Hx would be for rotational spring around local x axis
And no , linear supports cannot be used for bars.
