Abstract
A general method for the analysis of the deflection of an elastic stra ight beam resting on a tensionless Winkler foundation is presented. Us ing Newton's method and the Finite Element Method, a numerical method has been developed that finds the solution and has a quadratical rate of convergence. Using the proposed method we are able to find the defl ection, the contact and the lift-off regions of the beam, the soil rea ction, M-diagram and V-diagram.
