I am trying to determine the effective wind area based on this senario.
Feltback membrane roofing adhered directly to lightweight insulating concrete poured over steel decking over bar joists.
What about same senario over structural concrete instead of steel decking?
Would/Could it be appropriate to use 100SF effective wind area in either senario?
Reading the commentary "For membrane roof systems, the effective wind area is the area of an insulation board(or deck panel if insulation is not used) if the boards are fully adhered(or the membrane is adhered directly to the deck)."
Not certain how to quantify since insulation boards are encapsulted in LWIC. Any suggestions?
