Impact of Fastener-Deck Attachment on the Wind Uplift Resistance of Mechanically Attached Roofing Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A roofing system (RS) consists of a waterproof membrane, mechanical attachments, cover board (if present), insulation, and vapor or air barrier (retarder — if present). A roof assembly (RA) is defined as an RS that includes a structural deck. Wind uplift ratings are obtained by subjecting RA mockups to dynamic wind loading. Mechanically Attached Roofing Systems (MARS) are one particular type of roof assemblies in which the membrane is attached to the structural deck using mechanical fasteners. The strength of the fastener-deck interface is an important aspect in the successful design of the wind uplift resistance of mechanically attached roof systems. To quantify the fastener-deck interface influence on the wind uplift performance of MARS, seven different roofing assemblies were constructed and tested under dynamic conditions. The experimental investigation identified three parameters namely deck grade, deck gauge and fastener type that have influence on the wind uplift resistance of MARS. Based on this component characterization, fastener pullout resistance (FPR) is identified as a verification factor for system wind resistance estimation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
