kip per foot
Spring constantexact by definition
The kip per foot is 1000 pounds-force per foot, exactly 14,593.9029372064 newtons per metre. It is used for distributed stiffness and for soil subgrade reaction expressed per unit length of a beam on elastic foundation.
Watch out: Kip per foot is also, confusingly, a common way to write a distributed LOAD on a beam, which is a force per length and not a stiffness. Both are kip/ft and only the context distinguishes them.
