Abstract
The analysis of bending of finite beams on elastic foundation, under the action of an arbitrary distribution of lateral loads, is accomplished by an iterative procedure analogous to the H. Cross method for the analysis of continuous beams and structural frames. Very short beams may be considered as rigid with respect to the foundation. Approximate equations are derived for the direct computation of deflection and stress for beams ranging from long to moderately shot with respect to the “characteristic length” of the system of the beam and the foundation.
