Download or read book Laboratory field Comparisons of Built up Roofing Membranes written by Thomas H. Boone and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The values of breaking load, elongation and thermal expansion of nine bituminous built-up membranes prepared by roofing contractors under field conditions and by technicians in the laboratory were measured at sub-freezing temperatures.The data indicated that the field-prepared specimens agreed favorably with laboratory-prepared specimens, although the samples from the field frequently reflected higher values for thermal-shock resistance than did their laboratory-prepared counterparts.The higher values were attributed to the smaller amounts of bitumen used between the plies of the field specimens.The results appeared to support the validity of the application of the 'strength-thickness rule' to bituminous built-up membranes.(Author).

Download or read book Roofing Failures written by Carl G. Cash and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-06-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book starts by setting out the duties of a building pathologist in the context of the modern roofing industry, defining failure and explaining its underlying causes. The main chapters then deal with the main specific types of failure: fire, shrinkage and roofing systems displacement, calendar shrinkage, foam insulation shrinkage and 'stretched' membranes, plasticizer migration, bitumen incompatibility, built-up roofing felt porosity, blistering, thermal insulation instability, foam insulation problems, torch applications, polymer dispersion, asphalt-glass fibre shingle splitting, lack of appropriate venting, problems with cool roofing and problems with organic fibre-portland cement shingles. The book concludes with an outline of the principal rules for long service life roofing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of thermal movement of bituminous built-up roof membranes are related to some common failures of built-up roofing observed in field exposures.A procedure for determining the amount of thermal movement of built-up membranes is described.Data are given for the thermal movement of various bitumens and reinforcing felts used in the con * struction of built-up roofs and for the composite membranes over a temperature range construction of built-up roofs and for the composite membranes over a temperature range of +30 to -30F.The data obtained are related to field experience and suggestions are presented which will prove beneficial in reducing the incidence of built-up failure due to thermal movement.(Author).
