EFFECT OF ROOFING MEMBRANE ON WIND UPLIFT PRESSURES

Wind Standards and Codes of Practice derive pressure coefficients, mostly, from the wind tunnel studies. Conventionally, the wind tunnel roof models were fabricated using rigid material. This paper presents the benefits of wind tunnel studies on models with full-scale roof components.
