Retrofit single-ply roof systems (RSPRS) are increasingly being used to re-cover existing structural metal panel roofs. Wind uplift resistance is of primary concern when a RSPRS is installed over a structural metal panel roof. To determine capacity, E1592 physical testing was performed on four test roof assemblies, each consisting of a mechanically attached TPO with flat stock and flute fill polyiso over a 24-inch wide structural metal panel roof system. Each RSPRS had different fastener patterns; the result was different wind uplift resistance values. The results from and an analysis of the four physical tests will be presented.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Assess the load path for wind resistance of metal buildings, and identify the structural concerns when changing the load path.
  2. Discuss how fastener pattern is directly related to wind uplift resistance (based on large-scale physical testing).
  3. Define fastener spacing guidelines based on calculated loads and pullout values for a typical reroofing scenario.
  4. Recognize that our traditional assumptions about wind uplift resistance as it relates to tributary area are not necessarily correct.
