Thermal-shock Resistance for Built-up MembranesU.S. Department of Commerce, National Bureau of Standards, 1967 - 13 pages The resistance of bituminous built-up roofing membranes to thermally induced forces is considered in terms of their strength properties such as breaking load in tension, modulus of elongation and apparent linear thermal expansion coefficient.The development of a Thermal-Shock Resistance Factor is described and values are given for three bituminous built-up membranes at temperatures of - 30F (-34.4C), 0F (-17.8C), 30F (-1.1C) and 73F (22.8C).The apparent relation between the values obtained in the laboratory and the observed performance of roofing membranes in service is considered.The utilization of the Thermal-Shock Resistance Factor in the reduction of potential failures of bituminous built-up roofing membranes in service from thermally induced forces is also discussed.(Author). |

Page 9 - Koike [77] and those reported in this paper support the validity of some suggestions made by Cullen [10] regarding the alteration of some conventional application techniques to reduce the incidence of splitting failures resulting from mechanically and thermally induced forces, such as: (a) the placement of the insulation boards with their long dimension parallel to the short dimension of the roof, (b) the orientation of the roofing felt parallel to the long dimension of the roof, and (c) the use...
