Mechanically attached and air-pressure equalized single-ply membranesystems are susceptible to massive progressive failure aftermissile impact, and are therefore not recommended for criticalfacilities in hurricane-prone regions. At the building shown inFigure 3-89, a missile struck the fully adhered low-sloped roof andslid into the steep-sloped reinforced mechanically attached singleplymembrane in the vicinity of the red arrow. A large area of themechanically attached membrane was blown away as a result ofprogressive membrane tearing. Fully adhered single-ply membranesare very vulnerable to missiles (see Figure 3-90) and arenot recommended unless they are ballasted with pavers.Figure 3-89:Mechanically attachedsingle-ply membraneprogressively tore afterbeing cut by windbornedebris. HurricaneAndrew (Florida, 1992)Figure 3-90:Fully adhered single-plyroof membrane struck by alarge number of missiles.Hurricane Marilyn (U.S.Virgin Islands, 1995)MAKING CRITICAL FACILITIES SAFE FROM High Wind3-111
Edge flashings and copings: If cleats are used for attachment, it isrecommended that a “peel-stop” bar be placed over the roof membranenear the edge flashing/coping, as illustrated in Figure 3-91.<strong>The</strong> purpose of the bar is to provide secondary protection againstmembrane lifting and peeling in the event that edge flashing/coping fails. A robust bar specifically made for bar-over mechanicallyattached single-ply systems is recommended. <strong>The</strong> bar needsto be very well anchored to the parapet or the deck. Dependingon design wind loads, spacing between 4 and 12 inches on centeris recommended. A gap of a few inches should be left betweeneach bar to allow for water flow across the membrane. After thebar is attached, it is stripped over with a stripping ply.Figure 3-91:A continuous peel-stop barover the membrane mayprevent a catastrophicprogressive failure if theedge flashing or coping isblown off. (Modified fromFEMA 55, 2000)Walkway pads: Roof walkway pads are frequently blown off duringhurricanes (Figure 3-92). Pad blow-off does not usually damagethe roof membrane. However, wind-borne pad debris can damageother building components and injure people. Walkway pads aretherefore not recommended in hurricane-prone regions.3-112 MAKING CRITICAL FACILITIES SAFE FROM High Wind
