Snow Load Shape Coefficients and Snow Prevention Method for Stepped Flat Roofs
Applied Sciences, 2023 Excessive snow load and nonuniform snow deposition are the main factors leading to building collapses. The snow load shape coefficient represents the dimensionless snow load, and its value is related to the unbalanced distribution of snow.

A Context-Driven Model for the Flat Roofs Construction Process through Sensing Systems, Internet-of-Things and Last Planner System. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2017 The main causes of building defects are errors in the design and the construction phases. These causes related to construction are mainly due to the general lack of control of construction work and represent approximately 75% of the anomalies.

Polyurethane adhesives in flat roofs [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 It is necessary to stabilize individual layers of flat roofs, mainly because of wind suction. Apart from anchoring and surcharge, these layers can be secured by bonding. At present gluing is an indispensable and widely used stabilization method.
