This paper deals with the surface temperature problem of flat roofs, where bitumen sheets are used as the final waterproofing layer. Currently it is possible to find defects due to the high surface temperature of the waterproofing layer on flat roofs. The result of such a high surface temperature is, for example, the release of bitumen sheets and t...

This manuscript provides an overview of the most commonly-produced bitumen roofing sheets, focusing on the types of reinforcements used for their production and the reinforcements’ effects on the durability of tensile mechanical properties of roofing sheets under thermal loads. The paper includes the analysis of working conditions of roof coverings in the mid-European transitional climate, i.e., exposed to temperatures passing through 0 °C for three seasons in a year, periodic exposure to negative temperatures reaching −15 °C and positive temperatures up to +70 °C, justifying the above-mentioned emphasis on thermal load. It draws attention to technical problems related to the cooperation of roofing sheets with roofing substrates, with particular emphasis on concrete substrates. For the purposes of the work, the analyses were carried out with regard to the assessment of the service life of roof coverings made of various reinforcements working in conditions of variable temperatures and thus exposed to the transfer of thermal movements of substrate plates. The analyses also included the impact of different coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials in contact with other materials within roof coverings on the incidence of damage to cover layers. Particular attention was paid to the conditions resulting from the production process of roofing sheets effect on the durability of roof coverings made of these materials. Additionally, there were set directions for further work to calculate the impact of stresses, arising in layers of roof coverings during their operation in changeable negative and positive temperatures, on the incidence of mechanical damage to these coverings.
... Several works have studied the impact of these environmental conditions on the degradation and accelerated aging processes of the BS. However, these works have focused on the physical and mechanical properties of the BS [39][40][41][42], ignoring the environmental aspects that these degradation processes may have, such as the emission of pollutants to the environment. Since the main purpose of BS is to physically seal the roof surfaces, it is well understood why the physical properties of the sheets are so important and well-studied. ...

Bitumen waterproof sheets are widely used to seal building roofs. Previous works have focused on the mechanical-physical properties of bitumen sheets, as well as their aging and degradation processes, and their impact on sealing properties of the buildings. Due to a growing need over recent years to use rooftops in urban environments for rainwater harvesting purposes, it is highly important to better characterize the quality of the harvested water from the bitumen covered roofs, and to shed more light on the impact of bitumen degradation processes on the release of various components to the harvested roof water. In the present study, the extracted organic and inorganic solutes from bitumen-covered roofs by water flow on the bitumen sheets were examined through a series of experiments, including measurements from the roofs of buildings in the center of Israel during the winter of 2019–2020. The results indicated high levels of organic and inorganic solute loads in the roof water during the first flush of the first rain of the winter, with maximal electric conductivity readings at the order of 4 dS/m. However, it was shown that following the first flush, a ~20 mm of cumulative rainfall was sufficient to wash off all the summers’ accumulated solutes from the roof. After this solute flushing of the roof, harvested rainwater along the winter was of good quality, with electric conductivity readings in the range of 0.04–0.85 dS/m. Moreover, it was shown that bitumen sheets which were exposed to direct sun radiation emitted greater loads of solutes, likely a result of elevated aging and degradation processes. The findings of the present research point to the need to find efficient ways to isolate roof bitumen sheets from direct sun radiation and to design rainwater harvesting systems that will not collect the water drained from the first flush.

The temperature difference in the group of samples of various colors for the non-contact and contact method is significantly lower than in the case of bitumen membranes [4]. This small difference, in the case of non-contact method (only 3.1°C), is due to the low specific capacity of the thin polymeric membrane. ...

This paper deals with the problematics of the surface temperature of flat roofs, where the waterproofing layer is used as polymeric waterproofing membrane of softened PVC. Currently, it is possible to encounter defects on flat roofs due to the high surface temperature of the waterproofing layer. The consequence of such a high surface temperature is, for example, the sublimation of the thermal insulation of the foam polystyrene. The paper focuses on the influence of the color of the plasticized PVC membrane on the surface temperature. The aim of this paper is to determine the maximum surface temperature of a polymeric PVC membranes in the dependence on color on the basis of experimental measurements and furthermore, to determine the maximum temperature on the surface of the thermal insulation under PVC polymeric membrane. Measurements were taken during a warm summer day. Used samples were represented by polymeric membranes in green, gray, red and brown colors. Mineral wool was used as a substrate under the polymeric membrane.
