The objectives of the project are:
1. Draw Details of the different types of Roof Construction and suitable Roofing Systems.
2. Elaborate on Watertightness, Energy Losses and Thermal and Sound Insulation criteria.
The project has been structured in such a way, so it can assist the reader to obtain a general knowledge about roof construction and systems and furthermore to enhance the readers with information concerning specific topics.
The first chapter deals with the Functional Requirement of the various type of roofs.
Emphasis has been given to strength and stability, weather resistance, thermal insulation, sound Insulation and also fire resistance.
The second chapter works out the materials available for roof structure. Materials like
Timber, Plastics, Steel, Reinforced and prestressed concrete and Aluminium alloys are explained in this chapter in a detailed report.
