| Abstract | Most problems with roofs can be eliminated, or at least minimized, by compliance with the following principles for roof design: -- 1. Consider all requirements, both individually and collectively, and do not sacrifice one requirement for another without recognizing the consequences of such a decision. -- 2. Design the structure to keep movements and deflections to an economic minimum, and make allowances in the associated constructions for those that will inevitably occur. -- 3. Know the environment in which each material must serve and its effect upon the material. -- 4. Ease the duties imposed on each material by judicious selection and positioning in the assembly. |
