Abstract
Abstract Adhesive Applied Roofing System (AARS)s are regaining popularity in the Canadian low slope application. AARSs use no fasteners. All components (e.g., steel deck, vapour barrier (if any), insulation board, cover board, base sheet, and cap sheet) are integrated using cold adhesives and presented as a new generation of Built-Up Roofs. As there are no metal fasteners, AARSs can offer an advantage of a reduction in the moisture migration and thermal bridges of the roof assemblies. Moisture in the roof envelope can lead generally to material deterioration, structural integrity problems, and the growth of mould. Even though AARSs have been in use, existing uplift standards do not certify them for wind uplift performances. A new project, the “Development of Wind Uplift Standard for Adhesive Applied Low Slope Roofing System,” has been initiated in collaboration with industries, universities, and government departments. The project has three major tasks: Experimental investigation, formulation of a numerical model, and development of wind design guide and standards. This paper documents a segment of the findings from this project. Under Task 1, investigations were completed by constructing over 600 specimens constructed using cold adhesives and examining the peel resistance of bonded roofing components through mechanical separation of bonded layers by applying shear forces. These specimens use the insulation and the cover board components exclusively because they are more vulnerable to peeling under shear forces. Based on this scrutiny, three key parameters; namely, peel position, peel angle, and specimen size were optimized. This paper presents the findings and development of a standardized test method to determine the peel resistance of AARS specimens.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
