This article deals with the stiffness matrix and the equivalent load vector of a 3D-curved beam element with a variable cross-section under generalized loads. The linear ordinary differential system equation governing its structural behaviour is presented, and the boundary value problem is solved by
A general finite element is derived for beams or beam-columns with or without a continuous Winkler type elastic foundation. The need to discretize members into shorter elements for convergence towards an 'exact' solution is eliminated by employing in the derivation of the element exact shape functio
