Abstract

Beams on a foundation as rails on the ground can be analysed along Winkler's concept introducing a bedding coefficient k. In reality most beams are supported by a halfspace which simplest can be described by overall elastic properties. Exact relations between k and the elastic properties are presented for infinite beams as rails.
