The equation above could be simplified as

M( )x = ∑ ∑ ( )x (6) where, Mi (x) is the bending moment of cross section of the rock strata in the depth of i; Ii is inertia moment of neutral rock strata in the depth of i. Ei is the elastic modulus of the rock strata in the depth of i. Thus

q( )x = ∑ ∑ ( )x (8) where ∑qi (x) = q1 (x) + q2 (x) + ... + qi (x) + ... + qn (x), qi (x) is the distribution load functioned on the rock strata in the depth of i.
