Abstract
In this study, circular beams with variable cross-sections on elastic foundations under arbitrary loading are analysed by finite element method. Winkler hypothesis is considered for foundation. With the developed circular Finite Element CR12 in which six independent variables are chosen for each node, all kinds of boundary conditions can be taken into account. In this study effects of shear deformation and torsional effect of foundation are included. Also, as a special case finite element formulation is given for straight bars and Timoshenko beams on elastic foundations.
