DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF FOUNDATION BEAMS SUBJECTED TO TRANSVERSE LOADING ON WINKLER SOIL
Abstract
In this study, the dynamic analysis of a free beam subjected to transverse forces and moments on an elastic soil are investigated. The foundation model is based on the Winkler hypothesis. Concentrated disturbances on beams are transformed to distributed loads in order to be able to use the governing differential equation established for distributed loads by using Dirac distribution theory. An illustrative example is presented in order to demonstrate the use of the study and some of the obtained results are given in tables and figures.
