Abstract
This report presents results of the first 3 years of a 10-year field evaluation of 3 mod bit roofing systems at Ft. Polk, LA. This work is part of a research effort being conducted by the US Army Construction Engineering Research Labs (USACERL) to attempt to identify alternative, easy-to-install roofoing systems that can improve the performance of Army roofing while reducing life-cycle costs. Three mod bit roofing systems were installed on Bldg. 920 at Ft. Polk. At the time of installation, researchers tests the roof membrane materials for initial properties to provide a basis for comparison with later samples. Test samples for each roofing system were removed annually for 3 years & the sample section was patched. Properties of the membrane material evaluated are those considered essential to good roofing performance. For most properties, American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM) standard test methods are used. In addition, the roofs are inspected visually once each year. Preliminary findings indicate that the test roofs are performing excellently.
