Concrete leveler
Concrete leveler
(OP)
I am trying to do a feasibility study to add a floor to an existing concrete structure. One thing I need to do is level the existing roof. It slopes to a low point of -6", and I am having trouble finding a product that can have a small general thickness near the edges versus the relatively large thickness at the low points. What are typical products that can be used? I see some of the leveling concrete can have pea-gravel added for larger thicknesses, but their cure time also becomes very long and they only reference over 3" which makes me worry about 6 to 7" total.

If this roof is to stay a roof, you should just use tapered insulation.

Does the roof have adequate strength for the extra dead load plus floor live load?

If columns and spread footings don't figure, settlement is also an issue to watch out for.
Lastly, not sure what building code you are under, but the administrative code in California will require you to bring the entire structure up to code as you will be definitely increasing your overall building mass at that diaphragm by 10%.
