Abstract
Alternative approaches are reivewed for revision of the NBS preliminary performance criteria for tensile strength and tensile fatigue strength of bituminous membrane roofing. Five approaches - elasticity theory, brittle fracture, viscoelasticity theory, strain energy and finine-element techniques - were considered. Their advantages and limitations were identified and use of the strain-energy approach for both tensile strength and tensile fatigue strength was recommended.
