Certifying Roof Deck Constructions for Wind Resistance

To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
Building codes often require that roof deck constructions and coverings be designed to resist design wind load pressures in accordance with structural requirements specified in the code. They also require testing of various roof constructions to specific standards. To more effectively enforce these code requirements, it is important to understand two things: the general requirements in the testing standards and the markings that identify certified roof deck constructions.
