Direct Strength Method for the Flexural Design of Through-Fastened Metal Building Roof and Wall Systems under Wind Uplift or Suction
… of metal building roof and wall systems under uplift and suction wind loading is complicated because the laterally unbraced purlin and girt's free flange is compressed, and the cross-section rotates due to the shear flow. The objective of this thesis is to introduce a Direct Strength Method …

Performance evaluation of mechanically attached roofing systems
… Keeping the roofs in place against high wind events is a challenging task for architects and roof designers. There are two stages in the design process: first, a comprehensive understanding of the wind induced loads on the roof system and, second, an accurate estimation of the system …

Prestressed cable domes: structural behavior and design
… for the design of members. Domes vulnerable to wind uplift were recognized and prestressing force levels were increased accordingly. As such, the findings from the influence surface analysis proved to be a good indicator of the adequacy of prestressing forces assigned to a dome. Further, the …

In-situ monitoring of an Omni directional roof vent on a low slope single ply roof to identify most efficient porous underlayment for maximum pressure propagation
… to suction pressure corresponding to different wind speeds. Various underlayments were tested at the Research & Demonstration Facility at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University to develop design guidelines for the installation of recently developed omni-directional roof vent on low …
