About this document
Understanding Folded Plate Structures by Varun Malhotra is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Folded plate structures consist of thin, inclined concrete or steel plates folded like an accordion. The plates act as beams to span between supports. Key components include the inclined plates, edge plates to stiffen the wide plates, and stiffeners and columns to support the structure. Folded plates can accommodate longer spans than flat slabs through their folded shape, which increases the effective depth and bending resistance of the plate.
