Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

Creator:

Stark, Duncan

Abstract:

While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...

Experimental and analytical investigation of ponding load effects on a steel joist roof system

Creator:

Stark, Duncan

Abstract:

Ponding of water on roof systems leading to collapse causes expensive damage and jeopardizes the life safety of building occupants. Current building codes and design specifications for flat roof systems offer minimal guidance in designing for ponding loads. The present research investigated ponding load effects on a long span, lightweight...
