Abstract
The text of this book discusses in detail each aspect of a single ply roof design. It is a complete resource, which develops appropriate guidelines for each generic type of single ply, including loose laid and ballasted, fully adhered, and mechanically attached assemblies. It accentuates the engineering practice and presents concrete examples of all component selections with underlying engineering principles explained. The reasons for this are numerous: economics, local codes, customs, inexperience, or contradictive advice. By following the procedures outlined, the designer, owner or user is assured of a selection process well established in the engineering community and a final design that will perform well inservice. To complement the individualized design considerations, representative details are offered, but the specifications are also included for all the major generic single ply roof membrane types and application techniques. Each is offered with a fous on the contemporary single ply roof system and a continual list of specification changes and adjustments from all sources including manufacturers, designers, code, and insurance interst. A discussion of structural deck types is included within each area. For impact, the book discusses a critique of nationally recognized and currently approved techniques and test procedures. It compares designs formulated from several sources while it establishes needed background data within each categotry. The reader can follow a step by step analysis wioth the results being the ultimate single ply roof system design. The comparisons of these designes are based on each of the presented criteria. In addition, there is an extensive bibliography, which presents the most readily available reference materials for each completed design.
