Engineering Science & Technology, 2021 The present paper investigates the wind-induced dynamic behavior of a mechanically attached single-ply membrane roofing system installed on flat roofs of middle-rise and high-rise buildings with or without parapets. First, the wind pressure distributions on the roof were measured in a turbulent boundary layer.

ROOFER: Membrane and Flashing Condition Indexes for Single-Ply Membrane Roofs--Inspection and Distress Manual [PDF]
, 1993 Abstract : Because no procedures exist to inspect and evaluate the condition of single-ply membrane roofing systems within the ROOFER program, the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USACERL) has developed this inspection and distress manual for these roofing systems.

Methods of Evaluating Single-Ply Roofing Membranes
, 1982 In the last 20 years several new types of roofing material have been introduced to the construction industry, including various inorganic and organic materials and their combination, generally prefabricated. This paper deals only with single-ply membranes made from such materials as flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC), elastomers, that is ...
