Attachment of sheathing to structural clay tile
Attachment of sheathing to structural clay tile
(OP)
Does anyone have any resources for information regarding the attachment of sheathing to structural clay tile. I'm looking for the recommended type of fastener and also the capacity of those fasteners in the clay tiles. What I'm dealing with is a 90 year old structure that has a structural clay tile "flat arch" as the roofing system.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I will be interested to see if anyone has a solution to this problem.

I agree with Mike...remove it and go to a different system. If you leave it in place, you have to consider uplift capacity of the fasteners. If you want any insurability (Factory Mutual, etc.), you'll have to go to another method of roof substrate material.
