    The term "thermal movement" refers to a material's dimensional changes resulting from changes in temperature. A material experiencing a rise or decrease of temperature expands or contract, respectively. Thermal movement of materials in metal panel roof assemblies produces stresses for which of the following reasons:

    • Different materials have different coefficients of linear expansion.
    • Some components may be exposed to a greater degree of temperature change than others; for example, exterior panels will have a greater temperature-range exposure than the interior structure to which attachment is made.
    • Movement of two components occurs in different directions; for example, panel lengths must accommodate vertical, or ridge-to-eave, movement, and ridge flashing must accommodate horizontal movement.
    • All of the listed choices could be reasons.

    When a metal panel is fixed at a ridge, fasteners can be concealed under ridge or hip caps. Concealed fasteners at the ridge can be more aesthetically acceptable to building owners in lieu of having exposed fasteners at the eaves.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    Because of the smooth surface of metal roof panels, in areas where snow and ice occur frequently, snow guards are recommended because metal panels transfer heat, snow and ice which may tend to loosen suddenly from panels.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

    Review the photo. The dotted line represents the fixed point location. Select the correct answer: - ProProfs

    Review the photo. The dotted line represents the fixed point location. Select the correct answer:

    • The metal panels are "Attached" at the Ridge and Hip - Sideslope movement is expected to occur

    • The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Ridge and Hip - Upslope movement is expected to occur

    • The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Eave and Valley - Upslope movement is expected to occur

    • The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Ridge and Hip - Downslope movement is expected to occur

    Correct Answer
    A. The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Ridge and Hip - Downslope movement is expected to occur

    The difference between a structural metal roof panel and an architectural metal roof panel - is the structural metal roof panels have the strength and capability of spanning structural members, such as joists or purlins, without being supported be a continuous or closely spaced roof deck - and an architectural panel cannot.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation

    Metal panels must resist sliding forces, typically called "_________ loads". These loads are caused by gravity and snowloads that force metal panels to move downslope. Typical metal roof systems need to be "___________" to resist drag loads but must allow for movement because of panel expansion and contraction.

    • Transient - attached

    • Gravity - soldered

    • Drag - fixed

    • Construction - welded

    Correct Answer
    A. Drag - fixed

    • The blanket insulation is fully adhered to the purlin. The clips are fixed to the metal roof panel and the purlin.

    • The blanket insulation is fully adhered to the purlin. The clips are fixed to the thermal spacer block.

    • The blanket insulation is loose layed on the purlin. The clips only fixed to the metal roof panel.

    • The blanket insulation is loose layed on the purlin. The clips are fixed to the metal roof panel and the purlin.

    Correct Answer
    A. The blanket insulation is loose layed on the purlin. The clips are fixed to the metal roof panel and the purlin.

    Architectural metal panel roof systems require continuous or closely spaced substrates. Architectural metal panel roof systems are typically water-tight. They are designed to shed water rapidly over the surface of the panels.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Chapter 4—Architectural Metal Panel Roof Systems - Page 67. metal panel roof systems are typically water-SHEDDING. They are designed to shed water rapidly over the surface of the panels, so the seams are not necessarily watertight.
