Report of Roof Inspection: Characterization of Newly-Fabricated Adhesive-Bonded Seams at an Army Facility

摘要

The investigation was a limited study of seams in an EPDM rubber membrane of the roof of the new 'Wheeled Vehicle Facility' Building at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The study was initiated at the request of the Corps of Engineers (CoE) to provide data that could contribute to a data base on the characterization of newly-prepared field seams. The investigation was beneficial to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) because it complemented laboratory research on test methods for evaluating seams of vulcanized rubber roof membranes.
