In Canada, where the design temperatures are above freezing, the SBS modified bitumen roofing membrane are the most commonly used and are in practice since 1950?s. The modified bituminous roof membrane system is a two-ply system comprising of a base sheet and a cap sheet. Existing literatures on the thermal stresses induced in the modified bitumen systems indicate that these systems have a history of problems such as blistering, rupturing, splitting and slippage, however, with the improvement in the manufacturing process and better system designs, these issues subsided with time. In the recent past, the issue of membrane ridging on low sloped modified bitumen systems was brought to the attention of National Research Council of Canada. Membr...
