Adhesive applied roofing systems (AARS), a new generation of built-up roofs, are gaining popularity in North American low slope application. AARS uses no fasteners and all components (e.g., deck, vapour barrier, insulation board, and membrane) are integrated by the use of adhesives. As there are no metal fasteners, AARS can offer an advantage of reduction in condensation and thermal bridges for the roof assemblies. Even though, AARS have been in use, there have been no standard that exists to quantify its wind uplift performances. An industries-university-Canadian government collaborative research project, ?Development of Wind Uplift Standard for Adhesive Applied Low Slope Roofing System,? has been initiated with three major tasks: Experimental investigation, formulation of a numerical model and development of wind design guide and standards. This paper documents a standardized small scale laboratory test method for the quantification of uplift resistance subject to tensile loading. As part of Task 1 of the project, this systematic investigation focuses on three key parameters: Loading rate, specimen size and end condition. The investigations were completed by constructing over 400 specimens. Both the maximum uplift resistance and the consistence in the failure plane are equally considered during the test method standardization. The data from this small scale testing can facilitate roofing industries to optimize the material combinations such that the uplift resistance data can be used as an indicator before performing a full-scale wind uplift testing.Les syst\ue8mes de toiture pos\ue9s en adh\ue9rence totale (TPAT), nouvelle g\ue9n\ue9ration de couvertures \ue0 \ue9tanch\ue9it\ue9 multicouche, sont de plus en plus populaires en Am\ue9rique du Nord dans les applications \ue0 faible pente. La TPAT n?utilise aucune fixation par attaches, et tous ses composants (soit le platelage, le pare-vapeur, le panneau isolant et la membrane d?\ue9tanch\ue9it\ue9) sont int\ue9gr\ue9s par l?utilisation d?adh\ue9sifs. Comme ils ne comportent pas d?attaches m\ue9talliques, les TPAT peuvent offrir un avantage en termes de r\ue9duction de la condensation et des ponts thermiques dans les toitures. Bien que les TPAT soient bel et bien utilis\ue9es dans l?industrie, il n?existe aucune norme qui en quantifie les performances de r\ue9sistance au soul\ue8vement par le vent. Un projet de recherche concert\ue9 industries-universit\ue9-gouvernement canadien, intitul\ue9 Development of Wind Uplift Standard for Adhesive Applied Low Slope Roofing System, a \ue9t\ue9 mis en ?uvre. Il comporte trois (3) volets principaux : 1) v\ue9rification exp\ue9rimentale; 2) formulation d?un mod\ue8le num\ue9rique; et 3) mise au point d?un guide et de normes en mati\ue8re de conception pour contrer les effets du vent. Ce document fait \ue9tat d?une m\ue9thode d?essai en laboratoire sur mod\ue8le r\ue9duit, normalis\ue9e, aux fins de la quantification de la r\ue9sistance au soul\ue8vement d\ufb \ue0 l?effort de traction. Dans le cadre du volet 1 du projet, cette v\ue9rification syst\ue9matique s?int\ue9resse \ue0 trois (3) param\ue8tres cl\ue9s, soit le taux de charge, les dimensions des \ue9prouvettes et aux conditions aux limites. On a r\ue9alis\ue9 les v\ue9rifications en construisant plus de 400 \ue9prouvettes. La r\ue9sistance maximale au soul\ue8vement et l?uniformit\ue9 du plan de d\ue9faillance font toutes deux l?objet d?un examen au cours du processus de normalisation de la m\ue9thode d?essai. Les donn\ue9s issues de ce programme d?essai sur mod\ue8le r\ue9duit peuvent aider l?industrie des toitures \ue0 optimaliser les combinaisons de mat\ue9riaux afin que les donn\ue9es sur la r\ue9sistance au soul\ue8vement soient utilis\ue9es comme indicateurs pr\ue9alablement \ue0 l?ex\ue9cution d?un programme d?essai \ue0 la r\ue9sistance au soul\ue8vement par le vent en vraie grandeur.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
