Abstract
When replacing roofing, it is often necessary to cover spaced boards with a solid roof deck. When the panels are attached over the spaced boards to the rafters or trusses, the resuling roof structure will have greater resistance to seismic forces than the original spaced-board roof. The recommendations in this technical note are consistent with ASCE 7-93 for wind uplift capacity.
