Abstract
The behaviour of single bay steel frame folded plate roofs is fairly well understood[4]. In actual practice, multibay frames are mostly used to cover large column-free areas and as the behaviour of these is not well known an attempt has been made to predict their behaviour taking into account the action of laterals, edge trusses, lack of fit, support conditions and buckling. From this study, it is found that for efficient layout the laterals and edge trusses need to be provided only in the edge bays. Practical considerations like lack offit and settlement of supports do not adversely affect the stresses in most of the members. © 1979.
