    The document discusses roof coverings and their requirements. There are three main types of roofs - pitched roofs suitable for heavy rain/snow, flat roofs with a slight slope for moderate rainfall, and curved roofs used for auditoriums and theaters. Common roof coverings discussed include asbestos cement sheets, aluminum sheets, galvanized iron sheets, fiber sheets, and tiles. Each type has advantages like being waterproof, fire resistant, or preventing extreme temperature changes, and disadvantages like low insulation or condensation issues. Steel roof trusses are also detailed as a common roof framing method.

    ROOF AND ROOF COVERINGS

    INTRODUCTION
    • Roof is the upper most portion of the building
    which protects the building from rain, wind and
    sun.
    REQUIREMENTS:
    a. Structurally sound and strong
    b. Water proof with good drainage
    c. Protect from sun, rain and adverse weather conditions
    d. Adequate thermal and sound insulation
    e. Fire resistant
    Types of Roofs
    • Pitched or sloping roof:
    Suitable for areas of heavy rain and snowfall
    • Flat Roofs or Terraced Roofs
    Rainfall is moderate- slight slope (not more
    than 10°) is given
    • Curved Roofs
    For auditoriums, theatres- Shells and Domes
    preferred when large column free area is required
    SHELLS OR
    DOMES
    TERMS USED
    • Span:
    Distance b/w the supports
    • Rise: Vertical distance b/w top of ridge to wall plate
    • Pitch:
    slope of the roof (rise/ span)
    • Ridge :
    Apex line of sloping roof
    • Eaves:
    Lower end of inclined roof
    • Hip:
    ridge formed by intersection of two sloping surface.
    Ext angle >180
    • Valley : reverse of Hip
    • Principle rafter : member running
    from ridge to eaves
    • Purlins : Members running horizontal
    to support roofing material
    • Truss: framework, usually of well conditioned
    triangles, designed to support roof coverings
    or ceilings over rooms
    STEEL ROOF TRUSSES
     Fabricated from rolled steel
    structural members
     Channels, angles, T and plate
    sections
    Mostly angles used - can resist
    both tension and compression

    Advantages:

     Economical, Easy to fabricate


    Fire proof, Rigid
    Permanent, Suitable for speedy
    construction
    Connections in a roof truss
    ROOF COVERINGS

    CORRUGATED COMMONLY USED:

    I. ASBESTOS- CEMENT SHEETS


    II. ALUMINIUM SHEETS
    SEMI CORRUGATED III.GALVANIZED IRON SHEETS
    IV.FIBRE SHEETS
    V. TILES
    PLAIN
    I. ASBESTOS- CEMENT SHEETS
    Cement & asbestos
    Purlin spacing: 1 to 1.5 m
    Advantages:
    Cheap, tough, durable, water tight,
    fire resistant, light weight, do not
    rust
    Disadvantages :
    Low thermal conductivity, not
    attractive
    II. ALUMINIUM SHEETS
    Aluminium + Mg (strength)
    Lightest roof covering
    Advantage: Reflects heat,
    corrosion free
    Application: Warehouses
    Industrial bldg
    Automobile sheds
    III. GALVANIZED IRON SHEETS
    Iron sheets- galvanized with zinc
    Advantages: durable, light, fire
    proof
    Disadvantages: Condensation
    problem in the inner side, transmit
    heat and cold easily
    Application: Factories, workshop
    sheds, cost effective bldg
    IV. FIBRE SHEETS
    • Advantages: light
    weight, rust proof, can
    be cut easily

    • Eg: PVC sheets


    Poly carbonic sheets
    V. TILES
    • Oldest roof covering
    • Allahabad tile,
    Mangalore tile etc.
    • Manufactured with clay
    • Advantages: non
    conductors of heat and
    cold, prevents extreme
    changes in temperature
    within bldg
