Later Thursday afternoon, S-5! Research and Development Director Ricardo Barroso will present a technical session on “Holding Strength Comparison Between Short Rail and Direct Attachments on Racking Systems on Metal Rooftop for Solar Applications.”
Barroso oversees product development, compliance and application engineering at S-5! and will review wind uplift load test data to compare a commercial short rail with a direct attachment metal bracket on an exposed-fastened metal roof panel.
He will analyze the engineering calculations and discuss the financial benefits of adopting a more robust uplift resistance system.
