Wind Uplift Tests Can Gauge Roof Resilience in Hurricane-Prone Areas

The capacity of roofs to withstand high winds needs to be determined to ensure that the structure itself or its parts do not get damaged during storms, according to this article. This can be done through wind uplift tests, either negative pressure or bonded uplift, to gauge a roof's resilience. These tests can be helpful for roofs situated in hurricane-prone areas and can help avoid structural failures caused by high winds, this article says.
