Francovitch, T F

Testing of the Photovoltaic Membrane Roof System for wind uplift resistance is reported. A wind uplift table was used to simulate this load by applying positive pressure to a section of roof. Four such tests were conducted, using reinforced EPDM, Gates' reinforced Hypolon, and reinforced PVC. (LEW)
