Wind safety of single-ply roofs under time varying wind load
Abstract Wind damage on lightweight roofs of industrial and commercial buildings appears to be more common in North America than in Europe. One of the primary reasons for this fact is inadequate design against wind uplift due to inadequate testing procedures in North America. This paper describes the load mechanism and the UEAtc-testing methodology (to be used in Europe) of mechanically-attached, single-ply roof membranes and presents a newly designed fastener system incorporating the consequences of the load mechanism.
