Abstract
A finite difference method assuming parabolic variation of contact pressure distribution is presented to obtain the influence lines for bending moments in beams on an elastic foundation. These influence lines can conveniently be used to find moments in beams on elastic foundations due to any type of loads. The computational procedure presented is simple. Accurate results are obtained with only 10 elements.
