FUNDAMENTALS OF ROOF DESIGN.
Abstract
Most problems with roofs can be eliminated, or at least minimized, by compliance with the following principles for roof design: (1) Consider all requirements, both individually and collectively, and do not sacrifice one requirement for another without recognizing the consequences of such a decision. (2) Design the structure to keep movements and deflections to an economic minimum, and make allowances in the associated constructions for those that will inevitably occur. (3) Know the environment in which each material must serve and its effect upon the material. (4) Ease the duties imposed on each material by judicious selection and positioning in the assembly.
