Description
Retrofit single-ply roof systems (RSPRS) are increasingly being used to re-cover existing structural metal panel roofs. This fast-paced course will take a deep dive into ASTM E1592 physical testing that was performed on three test roof assemblies with different fastener patterns, which resulted in different wind uplift resistance values. Lessons learned related to deflection measurements and stress/strain information for multiple components within the assembly will be shared.
