| Abstract | This report is concerned with wind tunnel tests of two protected membrane roof-insulation systems in which insulation boards are loosely laid on the water impermeable membrane; the tests were carried out to investigate the resistance of the roof-insulation systems to damage by high winds.
Observed values of wind speeds which initiate failure of the systems are presented and the failure modes are described. The results show that wind-induced pressure differences across the roof-insulation systems cause uplift and are responsible for failure. |
