Wind fatigue effects on the seam strength of TPO roofs
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate the effects of wind fatigue on the seam strength of mechanically attached thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) systems. A conventional one side weld system and the new double side weld system were installed on the Dynamic Roofing Facility of the National Research Council of Canada and subjected to the Special Interest Group for Dynamic Evaluation of Roofing Systems dynamic wind test protocol. Results reveal cohesive failure mode which indicates that proper fusion of the sheets was attained, thus producing good bonding.
