In this thesis we construct new supergravity solutions representing continuous distributions of D3, M2, and M5-branes. These solutions are completely specified by the harmonic function H , which is determined by solving 12H=0 in carefully chosen coordinate systems with SO( n) x SO(D⊥ - n) symmetry. Afterwards, we calculate the corresponding charge distributions using a generalized Gauss's law type argument. These solutions are asymtoptically AdS in the near horizon limit.
