Abstract
This report describes the initial construction phase of tet roofs at Ft. Polk, LA, as part of a projected 10-year field evaluation of modified bitumen roofing systems. This work is part of a research effort being conducted by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Lab (USACERL) to attempt to identify alternative, easy-to-install roofing systems that can improve the performance of Army roofing while reducing life-cycle costs. Three different modified bitumen roofing systems were installed on Building 920 at Ft. Polk. To determine performance, samples from the test roofs will be laboratory tested and the roofs will be visually inspected annually for 10 years.
