Abstract
When wind damages a roof assembly, a temporary roof often is needed to keep water from entering the building. However, because of a lack of adequate guidelines for the design of temporary roof securements, many damaged roof membranes and temporary roofs have been inadequately secured. When inadequately secured, they are vulnerable to blow-off and present a risk to people and property.
