Beams on Elastic Foundation spreadsheet
Beams on Elastic Foundation is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis a finite length
beam with free ends supported continuously on an elastic foundation.
This program is ideally suited for analyzing a soil supported beam, a combined footing, or a strip of a slab or a mat.
Specifically, the beam shear, moment, deflection, and soil bearing pressure are calculated for 100 equal beam
segments, as well as the maximum values. Plots of both the shear, moment, and soil bearing pressure diagrams are
produced, as well as a tabulation ofthe shear, moment, deflection, and bearing pressure for the beam. This program is
a workbook consisting of three (3) worksheets, described as follows:
