Abstract
Practice on construction sites over recent years has shown that a comparison of the strength of insulating material on flat roofs as defined by compressive strain in accordance with the standards can only be approximately correct. This value refers to loads per meter squared. On the other hand on the construction stie all introduction of strength only takes place in isolation on a partial surface, which either has a direct effect on assembly or in the application. Therefore the load capacity of the partial surface is the sole comprable parameter forthe reliable, mechanical attachment of single layer lenghts of polymer bitumen.
