What are wind load calculations? Why must they be accurate?   It is very important to calculate the potential wind uplift when installing a roof. If a roof was to be installed without this first, it could lead to potential damage occurring, and high repair costs as the roof may not be prepared for strong wind.   What is wind uplift?   It is caused by gusts of wind which hit the side of any building. This disturbance in the wind movement, directs it upwards instead, at an increased speed. Once the wind reaches the top of the building, it can continue to move freely. But, before it does so, it creates a void. This void is an area of negative pressure which settles directly above the roof and has the power to pull roof coverings completely off the structure.   There are different factors which will contribute to the effect of the wind uplift, these include:   ·        The location of the building - both where in the UK the building is positioned, and in terms of the surrounding environment ·        The height of the building ·        The size of the building ·        The roof shapes   Check out our news page for more in-depth knowledge.   https://lnkd.in/d4Rqv6J #scienceandenvironment #roofers #Singleply #flatroofing #maincontractor #calculations #architects #knowledge The Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA) Teruka Taylor Jake Clarke Paul Gibney Claire Holden
