Metal standing seam roofs

Standing seam roofs are used in a vast range of applications
from aesthetically demanding projects to functional buildings.
Corus Panels and Profiles Structural Roof Decks eliminate
the need for purlins and when perforated offer excellent
acoustic performance.

Tiles and slate roofs Green roofs

Structural liner trays provide an excellent
support system for traditional tiled and
slate roofs. The tray's inherent strength
allows long sheet lengths to be used,
requiring fewer supports and also
enables the structure to be quickly
weatherproof. The tray can also offer
exceptional acoustic performance whilst
giving an attractive internal flat soffit.

The UK's largest and greenest
sustainable storage facility at Adnams
Brewery used Corus Panels and Profiles
D159 under a Sky-Garden Greenroof to
reduce the visual impact of the building
on the landscape and to regulate
the internal temperature."

Single ply roofs

Single ply roofs are the most successful form of non-residential
flat roofing in the UK. Corus Panels and Profiles roof decks
offer the complete structural package with single ply
membrane, for long and short span designs.

The tables are based on a total ‘Dead & Super’ imposed load 127.5
of 1.50kN/m2, a line load of 2.00kN/m and a deflection limit of 200
L/200. The factor of safety used is 1.5. Where actual design
loads exceed these, the spans must be reduced. Subject to
satisfactory fixings, the decks will resist wind uplift to at least
the value of 1.50kN/m2, and a deflection limit of L/90.

Approved Document E, 2004
Amendment requires construction of new
school buildings to follow guidance
provided by Building Bulletin 93. BB 93
advises designers to consider the effect
of impact noise from rain at an early
stage of the roof design in order to
minimise disturbance within the building.
What constitutes a problem level of rain
noise is subjective. Roof systems
employing a weatherproofing layer in full
contact with insulation, supported by a
metal deck are not usually problematic in
practice. However for more critical
applications rain noise may be reduced
by the selective specification of the
insulation system, and to a lesser extent
the membrane, the fixing system, and
the vapour control layer.
Rain generated impact sound
transmission is measured by a test to
Draft International Standard ISO 140-18.
A tank positioned 3.5m above the test
roof is filled with water and consistently
recharged. The perforated base area,
height and flow rate are calibrated to
ensure a rainfall intensity of 0.67 Lmin/m³
(40mm/h). Sound intensity
measurements are taken below the roof
construction in the frequency range of
50 Hz to 5000 Hz.
Indicative sound level test results on D60
0.7mm deck are between 52 - 60dB.
The sound intensity level measures the
amount of sound being transmitted
through the roof and therefore the lower
this figure is, the better.
Further details, test reports and details of
other combinations are available from
Rockwool Limited and
Kingspan Insulation Limited respectively.

Extended end laps

Sheet lengths in excess of 12 metres are
not practical for installation on site and
may also be subject to delivery restrictions.
Extended end laps can be used to
create a double span whilst keeping the
deck length to a minimum. Load span

Notes U VALUE - 0.25W/m2K

Maximum wind suction on outer sheet (limited by the
Bulbtite rivets fixing the top hat to to deck) = 1.33 kN/m2
for steel deck (= 1.04 kN/m2 for aluminium deck). In the
case of greater wind load, check with Corus Panels &
Profiles Technical Department.
The Structural Deck should be specified to resist all
imposed loading.
Use quilt 0.040W/mK 170mm thick with 130mm
InstaL2oc bracket (total void height 168mm).
The insulation is to be installed with no gaps and tucked
under the InstaL2oc bar.
U values are calculated according to approved Document
L2 2002, based on the spacer arrangements shown in this
drawing.

Structural design
General Use
The design and application of profiled
roofing and cladding is covered by BS
5427 : Part 1 : 1996 Code of practice for
the use of profiled sheet for roof and wall
cladding on buildings. Part 1. Design.
Structural
Structural performance of steel sheeting
is covered by BS 5950 : Part 6 : 1995
Structural use of steelwork in building.
Code of practice for design of light
gauge profiled steel sheeting. Diaphragm
design is covered by BS 5950 : Part 9 :
1994 Structural use of steelwork in
building. Code of practice for stressed
skin design
Fragility
Non-fragility requirements are
determined by ACR(M)001:2000 Test For
Fragility of Roofing Assemblies (second
edition) see next section.
Loading
Calculate loads in accordance with:
BS 6399 Part 2 :1997 Code of Practice
for wind loads BS 6399 Part 3 :1988
Code of Practice for imposed roof loads
(including snow and snow drifting).
Concentrated Load
Concentrated load is assumed to act
over a square with sides of 125mm.
BS 5950 : Part 6 considers that
concentrated load is equivalent to line
loading as follows.
Concentrated load Line load
0.9 kN 1.5 kN/m
1.8 kN 3.0 kN/m
Eurocodes
At the time of publishing this literature the
above British Standards are current and
applicable, however over time they are
being replaced by Eurocodes, as follows.
Each part has to be used with its National
Annex, which gives nationally determined
factors.
BS EN 1991 Eurocode 1: Basis of
design and actions on structures
Part 1 Basis of design
Part 2-1 Densities, self-weight and
imposed loads
Part 2-2 Actions on structures

Part 2-3 Snow loads
Part 2-4 Wind actions

The imposed loads are considered to act the same at the same time as dead load, but not at the
same time as each other.

Roof safety
5.1 ACR(M)001:2000 Test for fragility of roofing assemblies (second addition)
ACR(M)001:2000 was produced by the Association (MCRMA), National Manufacturers (ARM), British Cladding
Health and safety executive (HSE), Metal Federation of Roofing Contractors Council (BCC), Fibre-cement Manufacturers
Cladding and Roofing Manufacturers (NFRC), Association of Rooflight Association (FMCA), INFORM.

Summary of test method
Sheeting is fixed to a test rig specified in
the document and a drop test is
conducted, which involves releasing a
45kg sand bag from a height of 1.2m.
The sand bag must impact the sample:-
1. within 150mm of the centre of the
test sample.
2. within 300mm of a support point, at
least 150mm away from the support.
3. within 150mm of the edge of the
sheet, adjacent to the underlap with
the other sheet, at the weakest
position.
Other test conditions specified in the Summary of classification
document also have to be met.
Fragile
Corus Panels & Profiles carried out an
Impactor (sand bag) passes through
extensive test program consisting of
assembly on first drop.
360 tests to show the following results.
This data only applies to Corus Panels & Class C non-fragile
Profiles products, which must be fixed Impactor is retained on the assembly for
as indicated. 5 minutes after 1st drop.
Class B non-fragile
Impactor is retained on the assembly for
5 minutes after 2nd drop in the same
place as the 1st drop.
Class A non-fragile
On conclusion of the 2nd drop there is no
significant damage to the assembly.
