CONCRETE FOLDED PLATE
CONCRETE FOLDED PLATE
(OP)
What should you look for and mainly consider when designing a concrete folded plate with a v-shape for a large house?
- gravity loads to be considered.
- huricane wind loads to be considered, as well.
Thank you.

It is important to consider horizontal reactions from your folded plate, and how these will be resisted by the supporting structure.
Alternatively, if you do not provide full horizontal restraint, you must accurately calculate and allow for the horizontal movements of the plate.
If the roof span is greater than 15m and the pitch is greater than about 10 degrees, horizontal forces and deflections will be significant.
Good luck.
