Abstract:
A horizontal roof deck assembly has a ribbed steel roof deck sufficiently strong to withstand specified gravity, uplift, and shear loads. Rigid substrate boards are positioned adjacent one another above the deck, defining end and side joints. End joints are parallel to and above a corresponding upper rib of the roof deck and are secured to the upper rib by compression disk fasteners spaced along the end joint. The side joints can be tongue and groove joints. Additional fasteners attach the substrate boards to the roof deck along the side joints, for wind uplift resistance, and for thermal movement resistance.

Claim (Index 7):
A substantially horizontal roof assembly comprising:\n a corrugated steel roof deck defining a plurality of alternating upper and lower ribs and having sufficient strength alone and without composite structural strength provided by attachment to other roofing layers to withstand specified gravity, wind uplift, and diaphragm shear loads for the roof assembly; a plurality of rigid substrate boards having opposed ends and opposed sides, the substrate boards positioned adjacent one another and above the roof deck, adjacent substrate boards defining end joints at adjacent ends and side joints at adjacent sides, the rigid substrate boards defining a generally flat upper surface; each of the end joints parallel to and above a corresponding upper rib of the corrugated roof deck; each of the side joints spanning across multiple upper ribs of the roof deck; the rigid substrate boards secured to upper ribs of the roof deck by a plurality of compression fasteners spaced along the lengths of the end joints; the rigid substrate boards secured to upper ribs of the roof deck by a plurality of side joint fasteners spaced along the lengths of the side joints; and the rigid substrate boards secured to upper ribs of the roof deck by a plurality of wind uplift fasteners spaced apart from the sides and ends of the substrate boards; and a roof covering membrane fully adhered to the upper surface defined by the rigid substrate boards, the roof covering membrane protected against failure by the minimizing of relative movement of the rigid substrate boards.
