Overview
This is an introduction to roofing systems. You will learn how to specify roofing systems and incorporate appropriate engineering details into your working drawings on a wide variety of projects. You will learn about the different types of roofing systems for steep- and low-slope roofs, considerations when selecting a system, re-roofing and re-covering issues, design considerations, and typical details. This course will allow you to address roofing system issues on all types of commercial, industrial and residential buildings.
For engineers and construction professionals who need an introduction to the basic types of roofing systems, this course will tells how to evaluate different systems for specific projects, how to specify and detail roofing systems, and important maintenance considerations.
To earn PDH credits for this course, the student must pass a multiple choice quiz of twenty-five (25) questions.
