    Folded plate structures can be used to make portable shelters for homeless people during disasters when housing is needed quickly and cheaply. Folded plates provide stability and are used in roofs, floors, walls, and other structures. They are composed of flat plates that are inclined in different directions and joined along edges. Folded plate roofs were first used in large industrial buildings in the 1920s in Germany and became popular for large commercial and industrial buildings in the US in the 1930s. Sheet piles are also a type of folded plate structure used for retaining walls and excavation support.

    FOLDED PLATES-2

    ASSIGNMENT 4

    PRANITA SANJAY CHAVAN


    FOLDED PLATES

    Generally used in Temporary Structure which may be used


    for homeless people, refugee camps, army base camp.

    • There are many homeless people.


    • Specially during disaster, many people become
    homeless.
    • We can use the concept of folded plate structure to
    make portable shelter for the homeless people.
    • Significant works on this project is already in progress.
    • It is very cheap and easily useable by anyone. Recover
    Accordion Shelter Light Weight Emergency Shelter.
    • Folded Plates provide better stability to such structures.
    Application Of Folded Plates
    Roof structure

    •Folded Plate Roofs are a type of folded plate structure that is


    chosen for their durability and high weight-bearing capacity.
    •Folded Plate Roofs are easy to assemble as they consist
    of flat slabs or plates that are inclined in different directions and they
    are joined along their edges at the top.
    •In Germany in the 1920s the first Folded Plate Roofs were used in
    construction of mainly very large factory buildings such as coal
    bunkers.
    •In United States in the 1930s the technology of Folded Plate
    Roofs were used in the construction of warehouses and it quickly
    became the preferred roofing solution for really large commercial
    and industrial buildings.
    Sheet Piles

    • Sheet piles are sections of sheet materials with


    interlocking edges that are driven into the ground to
    provide earth retention and excavation support.
    • Sheet piles are most commonly made of steel, but can also
    be formed of timber or reinforced concrete.
    • Reinforced concrete sheet piles are formed
    using precast concrete members, usually connected together by
    tongue and groove joints.
    • They are commonly used in
    permanent river embankments, canals and other marine
    structures.
    • The toes of the piles are usually cut with an oblique face to
    facilitate easy driving and interlocking, while
    the heads are finished off by casting a capping beam.
    Floor Structure

    • Floor Plates are used in Mezzanine floor structures.


    • It is also widely used for Sound proofing,
    • Mostly used in Cold Areas

    Wall Structure

    • Wall Structure made out of folded plates are generally


    permenant structures made of Reinforced cement Concrete
    Basic Elements of Folded Plates

    1) Inclined Plates Edge Plates

    2) Edge Plates

    3) Stiffeners Stiffene rs
    Inclined Plates

    4) Columns
    Columns

    Joint Theory of Folded Plates


    Simple Joints

    Multiple Joints
    Reinforcement Details

    Spacing :
    • Shall not exceeds 2 times and thickness of plates
    • Length of the reinforcements 80% of bottom bar should be
    end to end support .

    Advantages Of Folded Plate Structures:


    • Folded plate structures very light form of construction up to
    span 30 m, shell thickness required is 60 mm only.
    • These types of structures reduce both materials and
    construction costs.
    • It has a longer span that can be provided.
    • Also, has flat shapes by choosing certain arched
    shapes.
    • It provides better esthetical as compare to other forms of
    construction.
    Disadvantages Of Folded Plate Structures:
    • Shuttering is difficult.
    • Formwork requires more precision.
    • Good labor and supervision are necessary.
