This book explores the fatigue testing of built-up roof membrane specimens, a critical component of a roof system that provides protection from the elements. The author, an expert in the field, presents the results of experimental tensile and flexural fatigue tests conducted on four different types of roof membranes. The findings establish performance criteria for roof membranes subjected to fatigue loading, providing valuable guidance for roofing material selection and design. These criteria are based on the fatigue behavior of conventional roofing membranes and represent a significant contribution to the development of performance-based roofing standards.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed survey of the current state of elastomeric roofing technology, used in the construction of flat or slightly sloped roofs. Elastomeric roofing is a single-ply membrane applied to a substrate or the existing roof structure and can provide cost and performance benefits in certain roofing applications. Roofs using elastomeric roofing are often lighter in weight and more visually appealing than traditional built-up roofing while offering greater flexibility and the ability to withstand greater movement from the substrate below. The author compiles a list of elastomeric roofing membranes, available in either spray-applied liquid or preformed sheet systems, and discusses factors affecting performance, including mechanical, chemical, and physical properties, as well as the design of the roofing system itself. Guidelines are also provided to assist the user in the selection and application of elastomeric roofing for both new and remedial roofing applications.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the structural performance of oil and natural gas pipelines during earthquakes. The author establishes early on that buried gas pipelines have performed well due to their ductile steel and modern construction, being able to withstand ground shaking and distortion in the earth. Most reported failures occurred in cast-iron or segmented steel pipelines or welded steel pipelines suffering from corrosion or poor quality control. Above-ground storage tanks, however, are quite susceptible to seismic damage, leading to environmental hazards. The book provides an extensive review of seismic design practices for pipelines and storage tanks to help engineers and policymakers design more resilient systems.
