    This document discusses beams on elastic foundations. It classifies beams as short, intermediate, or long based on the ratio of beam length to characteristic length. It presents the differential equation of equilibrium for a beam on an elastic foundation involving shear force, bending moment, soil reaction, and applied pressure. It derives the general solution involving the characteristic parameter that includes flexural rigidity and foundation elasticity. An example problem is given to compute the largest spring force and bending moment for an infinite beam on equally spaced coil springs under a concentrated load. References are provided.

    introduction

    .
    Classification of beams on elastic foundation

    1. Short beams, βL < 1: Inasmuch as the end deflection is essentially equal to


    that at the center,
    the deflection of the foundation can be determined to good accuracy by
    regarding the beam as
    infinitely rigid.
    2. Intermediate beams, 1 < βL < 3: In this region, the influence of the central
    force at the ends of
    the beam is substantial, and the beam must be treated as finite in length.
    3. Long beams, βL > 3: It is clear that the ends are not affected appreciably by
    the central loading. Therefore, if we are concerned with one end of the beam,
    the other end or
    the middle may be regarded as being an infinite distance away; that is, the
    beam may be treated
    as infinite in length
    Differential equation of equilibrium of a beam
    on elastic foundation
     Considering the equilibrium of the differential element, the sum of the
    vertical forces gives:

     Q=shear force
     K=is modulus of subgrade reaction
     M=beanding moment
     Y=is the deformation in the vertical direction
     P=is the soil reaction
     q= applied pressure
     Considering the equilibrium of moments along the left section of the
    element we get:

     Using now the well known differential equation of a beam in bending:


     Finally, from the summation of the vertical forces ΣV=0

     In the above equation the parameter α includes the flexural


    rigidity of the beam as well as the elasticity of the
    foundation. This factor is called the characteristic of the
    system with dimension length. In that respect 1/α is
    referred to the so called characteristic length. Therefore,
    x⋅α will be an absolute number.
    The differential equation of equilibrium of an
    infinitely small element becomes:

    where y0(x) is the solution of homogeneous differential equation


    particular integral corresponding to q(x)
    Know the general soiution:
    Yc=
    Picture about beams of elastic
     Example 1: An infinite beam rest on equally spaced linear coil springs,located
    every 1.1 m along the beam. A concentrated load of 18 kN is applied to the
    beam, over one of the springs. EI of the beam is 441x109 N.mm2,K=275 N/mm
    for each spring. Compute the largest spring force and largestbending moment
    in the beam.
