Abstract
In various practical applications, it can be founded that there is not only restraint condition at the ends of column, in some cases, the column may be restrained continuously along its length. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to analyse the buckling problem of an Euler column lying on the Winkler elastic foundation instead of a column with continuous elastic restraint that covered the all possible combinations of condition between one end as the elastically restrained and another end as the classically restrained. Based on an analytical method, this leads to the first time obtaining the exact stability criteria of column and corresponding of their analytical closed-form buckling shape functions, which are not appeared in the previous work.
