These calculations are relevant for mechanically fixed polymer-based single layer roofing and bituminous mechanically fixed systems.
We have carried out wind load calculations for flat roofs as detailed in BS 6399:Part 2:199. The calculations are based on the Standard Method.
We have then calculated the minimum number of fixings required based on a design figure of 0.4 kN per fixings. The results of the calculations are shown in a series of tables. The results are generally conservative, and often a more rigorous calculation may produce a more lower fixing numbers.

You can view the relevant table by selecting the basic data required and then click the View button below
