FOLDED PLATES
STRUCTURES
A thin-walled building structure of the shell type. Folded plate structures
consist of flat components, or plates, that are interconnected at some
dihedral angle. Structures composed of rectangular plates are said to be
prismatic. In modern construction practice the most widely used folded
plate structures are made of cast-in-situ or precast reinforced concrete
(including prestressed and reinforced-cement structures). The structures
are used as roofs for industrial and public buildings.
The main advantage of folded plate structures over other shells (such as
cylindrical) is the simplicity of manufacture. Approximate static
calculations of folded plate structures are based on the membrane theory
of shells; more exact static calculations are based on limit equilibrium
and on P. L. Pasternaks and V. Z. Vlasovs general theory of shells.
FOLDED PLATES
Folded plates are assemblies of flat plates rigidly connected together along their edges in
such a way so as to make the structural system capable of carrying loads without the
need for additional supporting beams along mutual edges.

ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF
FOLDED PLATES
Advantages of Folded Plate Roofs over Shell Roofs are:
(a) Movable form work can be employed.
(b) Form work required is relatively simpler.
(c) Design involves simpler calculations.
Disadvantages of Folded Plate Roofs over Shell Roofs
are:
(a) Folded plate consumes more material than shells.
(b) Form work may be removed after 7 days whereas in
case of shells it can be little earlier.
