Stiffness matrices of beams embedded in an elastic medium and subjected to axial forces are considered. Both the bending and the axial deformations have been incorporated. Two approaches for deriving the element stiffness matrix analytically have been proposed. The first approach is based on the direct force–displacement relationship, whereas the second approach exploits shape functions within the finite element framework. The displacement function within the beam is obtained from the solution of the governing differential equation with suitable boundary conditions. Both approaches result in identical expressions when the exact transcendental displacement functions are used. Exact closed-form expressions of the elements of the stiffness matrix have been derived for the bending and axial deformation. Depending on the nature of the axial force and stiffness of the elastic medium, seven different cases are proposed for the bending stiffness matrix.
