The simplest and most commonly used foundation model is the so called
Winkler foundation (Winkler 1867). This model assumes that the
foundation pressure is directly proportional to deflection, i.e.

Fig. 9.4 illustrates the action of point load F on the Winkler foundation.
Only the spring situated at the point of action of force F contracts.

the edge disturbances caused by the supports of the bar ends or by the
point forces (and/or moments) are local enough to be solved without
taking the disturbances of the other edge into account. In these kinds of
cases, one can use the so called semi-infinite solution to the beam on
elastic foundation.
where the upper sign corresponds to the positive x axis ( x ≥ 0 ) and the
lower sign to the negative x axis ( x ≤ 0 ). We then get a solution to the
problem in terms of the constants of integration
βL < 5, (9.27)
one must use the so called finite solution to the beam on elastic
foundation. The finite solution to the beam on elastic foundation is
obtained as a sum of general solution (9.19) to the homogenous equation
and the particular solution v0 ( x) . The solution is then

Note: As we can observe, the boundary conditions are the same as at the free end of a
regular beam, where a point load acts. The boundary conditions of beams on
elastic foundations are generally the same as boundary conditions of regular
beams.
