The present paper shows a research where a new capital for multispan greenhouses has been designed with the requirement of compatibility with the construction procedure consisting on raising the greenhouses roof. To obtain a better view of the base capital structural deficiencies, and to verify the efficiency of adopted measures with the new capital geometrical resizing, the Finite Element Method (F.E.M.) has been used. The results shows that the new capital geometry, material and dimensions solve structural deficiencies, taken into account the European greenhouses standard EN-13031-1. It is expected that results showed in the present paper will be useful for new researches, and also for greenhouses construction industry.
