Quantification of Uplift Resistance of Adhesive-Applied Low-Slope Roof Configurations Subjected to Tensile Loading Test Protocol
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Adhesive-Applied Roofing System (AARS) is a new generation of built-up roofs gaining popularity in North American low-slope application. AARS uses no fasteners, and all components (e.g., steel deck, vapor barrier, ...
Wind Uplift Performance of Composite Metal Roof Assemblies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A common factor in roof failures is wind forces, which inflict considerable damage every year, even to new roof structures. Metal roofs are a popular low-sloped roof assembly. On the basis of their layout, metal roofs can ...
Dynamic Evaluation of Thermoplastic Roofing System for Wind Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of wind on roofing systems are dynamic, because of wind's fluctuation in time and space. Therefore, a dynamic means of evaluating roofing systems is beneficial in identifying the component of the system that ...
Dynamic Wind Uplift Performance of Thermoplastic Roofing System with New Seaming Technology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Wind dynamics, on a conventional roofing system, lift the membrane and cause fluttering, introducing stresses at the attachment locations. To identify the component of the system that has the weakest resistance against ...
New Design Procedure for Wind Uplift Resistance of Architectural Metal Roofing Systems1
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Currently, there are no Canadian national guidelines for the wind uplift resistance of architectural metal roof systems. Thus, it is difficult to judge their suitability and performance based on a common standard. Given ...
