  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents an analytical study on trough-type folded plate roofs using STAAD.Pro, focusing on their structural behavior, design principles, and practical applications in modern engineering. Trough-type folded plates represent a unique structural configuration that integrates the efficiency of folded plate systems with the functional benefits of trough-shaped geometries. The study employs analytical methods to investigate various aspects of these roofs, including deflection characteristics, stress distribution, and strategies for material optimization. Through comprehensive analysis, the research aims to elucidate the inherent advantages of trough-type folded plates in terms of structural performance and architectural versatility. Case studies are utilized to illustrate the application of these roofs across different scenarios, highlighting their performance under varying thickness conditions and structural configurations. The findings underscore the significant material economy achieved through the use of trough-type folded plates, emphasizing their suitability for a wide range of engineering projects such as roofs, bridges, and large-span structures. Furthermore, the study explores how STAAD.Pro, a widely-used structural analysis and design software, facilitates the modeling and evaluation of trough-type folded plate roofs. By leveraging computational tools, engineers can effectively simulate and optimize these structures to meet specific design criteria and performance standards.
