2024 IIBEC OBEC BES Session- Self-Adhered Membrane Applications: What does it really mean to stick (Shelner, C.)

2024 BES Session: Self-Adhered Membrane Applications: What does it really mean to stick (Shelner, C.)

Course Overview
This session was originally presented at the 2024 IIBEC/OBEC Building Enclosure Symposium in Toronto, Canada.  This course includes the following components:

• recording of the live session
• a summative assessment consisting of 10 questions
• two surveys required to claim continuing education credit

Session Description
This session addresses the comprehensive evaluation of adhesives for self-adhered membranes in the construction industry. It recognizes that relying solely on peel adhesion tests overlooks critical forces that affect membrane performance. The session explores alternative evaluation methodologies, emphasizing the importance of considering shear forces, temperature fluctuations, and external loads. Neglecting these factors can lead to reduced adhesion, membrane detachment, and compromised building envelope integrity. Intended for construction professionals, architects, and engineers, the session showcases advancements in adhesive testing technology and methodologies. Attendees will gain insights into assessing adhesive performance and its implications for long-term project success. By incorporating these evaluation methods into the design and specification process, stakeholders can make informed decisions, ensure proper membrane adhesion, and enhance overall project performance. In summary, this session raises awareness about the limitations of relying solely on peel adhesion tests for self-adhered membranes. It highlights the need for a comprehensive evaluation of adhesives and consideration of all applied forces. By broadening the understanding of adhesive performance, attendees can improve the reliability and durability of self-adhered membrane systems, contributing to the sustainability and success of construction projects.
