The beam with an axial force is coupled by an elastic layer of Winkler type with the pretensiled string. It is subjected to a row of moving forces. The theoretical model corresponds to a prestressed bridge. The concrete bridges of this type are the most spread types appearing on both the road and railway bridges of small and medium spans. The governing equations form a coupled set of partial differential equations that are solved using the Fourier and Laplace integral transformations for the undamped case. The numerical solution is examined for the damped case.
