Abstract

Roofing membranes bonded to the substrate of a structure generally tend to blister, crack, etc., which often causes failure. The reasons for this are that it is almost impossible to eleminate risk of blistering from the moisture-bearing substrate [1], and that the membrane, with a free deformation length approaching zero, will certainly rupture when stretched as a consequence of cracking occurring in the substrate to which the membrane is bonded [2].
