Description
Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC International Convention & Trade Show in Phoenix, Arizona. This course includes the following components:
- recording of the live session
- a summative assessment consisting of 10 multiple-choice questions
- two surveys required to claim continuing education credit
Description
While there is nothing new about wood decks, large warehouses, or mechanically attached, low-slope single-ply roof systems, current design and installation techniques have created a perfect storm resulting in performance and reliability issues that occur even under moderate weather events. This presentation will review existing mechanically attached, single-ply installations on large commercial warehouses to gain an understanding of building pressurization and wind uplift forces that can lead to premature failure of these systems. Upon completion, participants will recognize the limitations of OSB wood decking and the steps required for the successful design and installation of reliable and robust roof systems.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify wind uplift and building pressurization issues with wood decks on large warehouse and industrial structures and the resulting effects on mechanically attached, single-ply roofing systems.
- Describe wind and pressure-related failures of single-ply roof systems on distribution centers in the western United States.
- Recognize variability in wood decking materials as well as the effect of pressure, cycling, and eccentric uplift forces in the acceleration of roof system failures.
- Explain design and installation best practices along with repair recommendations to reinforce roof system reliability.
