Abstract
Investigations were completed for the effect of membrane thickness on wind uplift resistance. Several investigations were completed on mechanically attached single ply systems with TPO membranes. This report archives the wind resistance data. The measurements were made in the Dynamic Roofing Facility (DRF) of the National Research Council of Canada. This report presents the data for roof assemblies with 45 mil and 80 mil TPO membrane. In total, six experiments using four different systems were completed.
