How do you find the stresses in the spherical shell for the following conditions?
i) Under own weight
ii) Concentrated load at the crown
iii) Under snow load

A triangular folded plate roof consists of two triangles, each with a horizontal width
of 5 m and height 2.5 m. The span of the roof is 18 m and is having a thickness of
120 mm. The live load on the roof is 0.8 kN/m2. Analyze the folded plate and
obtain the no rotation solution giving the stresses.
