where xn is the absolute distance of the force Pn from the cross section where the
deflection is to be found.
Let us assume that positive and negative forces are acting on a beam and denote the
upward-acting negative forces by R. The deflection for any point can now be written
as P1 P2 P3

An infinite beam (E=200 GPa) has a square cross section (b = h = 80 mm) and
rests on a Winkler foundation of modulus k0 = 0.25 N/mm2/mm. A downward
concentrated load of 200 kN is applied at the centre. Find the maximum and
minimum deflections and their locations. Also find the maximum flexural
strength.

An infinite beam (E=200 GPa) has a square cross section (b = h = 80 mm) and
rests on a Winkler foundation of modulus k0 = 0.25 N/mm2/mm. A downward
UDL of 200 kN/m is applied at the middle portion. Find the deflection, slope,
moment and shear force below the starting point of UDL.
