| Abstract | Concern has been expressed that increasing the amount of insulation to improve the thermal resistance of conventional roofing systems might adversely affect the performance of the membrane. Lower membrane temperatures caused by increased thermal resistance could induce higher stresses in the membrane, thus increasing the incidence of splitting failures. It is also feared that additional insulation could result in larger stresses in roofing membranes partially covered with snow. This Note evaluates the possible effects of increasing the amount of insulation on roofs. |
