PARAMETRI C STUD Y O F BEAM S ON ELASTI C FOUNDATION S 1 2 By C. V. Girija Vallabhan, Member, ASCE, and Y. C. Das d. ABSTRACT: Even though the two-parameter model developed by Vlasov for beams e on elastic foundations represents the interaction between the beams and the foun- v r e dation better than the Winkler model, it requires an estimation of a third parameter, s e 7, which represents the distribution of the displacements within the foundation. r s Using variational calculus, the value of y is shown to be a function,of some non- t h dimensional parameters of the beam, the foundation, and the mode of loading. By g i r using an iterative procedure, a consistent value of 7 is calculated. An example of l l a beam carrying a uniformly distributed load is solved and the results are compared a ; with a more rigorous finite element solution. y l n o e s INTRODUCTION u l a n The concept of beams and slabs on elastic foundations has been exten- o s r e sively used by geotechnical, pavement, and railroad engineers for analyses p r and designs of foundations. The majority of research work in this area has o F . been done using the classical Winkler model (Hetenyi 1946; Westergaard E 3 C 1948) where a coefficient k (force/length ) called subgrade
