Analysis Of Continuous Folded Plate Roofs, Yung-Ping Wang

Masters Theses

"This work presents an analysis of continuous folded plate roofs considering the effects of relative joint displacements. For this analysis the normal modes of the lateral beam vibration were used as the form of the deflection curve and the loading was sinusoidal. By using symmetry and anti-symmetry, a possible method of analyzing prismatic folded plate roofs comprising one bay transversely but continuous over two or more spans longitudinally is suggested"--Abstract, page ii.
