WHAI AREFOLDED PLATES?

Folded pates are assemblies of flat plates rigidy
connected together along their edges in sucha
way that the structural system capable of
carrying loads without the need for additional
supporting beams along mutual edges.

Engineer Eudene Freyssinet performed the first roof with the fokded
structure in 1923 as an arcrat hangar at Ory Airport in Pars.
FOLDING SYSTEMS IN NATURE
The principle of folding as a tool to develop a
general structural shape has been known for a
long time. Folded structure systems which are
analogous to several biological systems such as
found at broadleaf-tree leaves, petab and foldable
insect wings, are adopted to be employed in a
new, technical way.

THE PRINCIPLE OF FOLDING

The structuralcharacterisdes of foldi ng structures
depend on:

The patten of the foding.

Their geometrical basic sha pe.
ts material.
The connection of the different folding planes. The Concept Of stitfness Generation

The design of the bearings.

Movable fom work can be employed.

STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF FOLDING

Load Distribution process
At frst, the extemal fortes are transferred to
the shorter edge of one folding element.
the reaction as an axal force is dimded
There,
between the adjacent elements.
Then the forces trarsferred to the bearings

Classification of fold ed structures based on the

material they are made of:
Folded sructures made of reinfarced

Architect: walter Netsch,
Length: 280 ft, Height: 150ft, Width: 84t
Year: 1962

The United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel,

completed in 1962, is the distinguishing feature of the
Cadet Area at the United States Air force academy north
of Colorado Springs.
It was designed by Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings
and Merrill of Chicago.

Construction was accompished by Robert E. McKee, Inc.,

of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Originally controversial in its
design, the Cadet Chapel has become a classic and highly
regarded example of modernist archtecture.
The Cadet Chapel was awarded the American Institute of
Architects National Twenty-five Year Award in 1996and,
as part of the Cadet Area, was named a U.S. National
Historic Landmark in 2004.

Architecture Construction:
The most striking aspect of the Chapel is its row of
seventeen spires. The original design called for twenty
one spires, but this number was reduced due to budget
issues.

AAAAAN
The structure is a tubular steel
frame of 100
identical tetrahedrons, each 75 feet (23 m) long, weighing
fA tons, and encdosed with Aluminium panels.

Architect: Foreign Office Architects
Foor Ares:34,32 m
Length: 430m, Helht 15m, Width: 70m

INTRODUCTION
The steel frame struct ure was designed with the beautiful
scenery of the port in mind.

it is a three level facilty of a gentle cured form.

The occupable oof curves back in to form the ceiling of

the level below and then again to form the loor.

The inside space is barrier free without columns or beams

and the vertical circulation is accompished through ramps
and elevators

SITE AND GENERAL

The major pier possesses the ability to harbour vessels of

varying sizing including the largest passenger ships. The
port has both pedestrian and vehicular connection to the
mainland.

FUNCTONS
Basement- machinery rooms
First floor- parking
Second floor- passenger terminal, multi purpose space
Roof-roof plaza, visitors deck

SA
hrome The terminal is a shed building measuring 412 meters in
the webcam
length and composed of 27 steel trusses averaging 42.5
meters in span and placed at 16 meter intervals.
The trusses are joined ongitudinally bytrussed members
of corventional configuration, and purins carrying,

**
TTITT either metal dadding or glazing.
The trusses are carried on concrete piers extending fromn
the basement parking level through the surface of the
main level.

ww

The large shed employsa unified form though

repetitive structural units to enclose a single
homogeneous space.
Tie rinmation yields a complex ofspaces that
Srnoothly incorporates the multiple terminal, civic
and garden programmes wit hin and below its span.

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 aready in progress.
