Answer
Hi Zargham,

1. For modulus of subgrade reaction (spring constant), refer to my answer in website below:

2. For jobs in the ME, the construction market has really taken a nose-dive and this has become very difficult. Try some recruitmnet agencies, but I would recommend you wait for a year or two so that you get more experience and the market improves.
