It has only been recently that computers were available to analyze the combined of structure and foundation, introducing more accuracy in structural analysis. Obviously, this technique involves the soil modeling as necessary. The model of the coefficient of subgrade reaction has been often used for this task. At last, the accuracy of the model depends on the agreement between predictions and soil behavior. The appropriate use of Winkler theory and the suitable determination of k are essential conditions for a good analysis. Unfortunately, manuals are not sufficiently concerned with this problem. The limits of this theory, some formulations for the determination of the k values and a few improvements of the model are described in this paper.
