TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: AUG 1988Description: 23p., 4 refs, 14 figs, 1 tableReport number: Academic; JCUQ-CTS-TR-32Subject: Evidence of the corrosion of some building materials was drawn to the attention of the Cyclone Testing Station. In particular, some roofing screws only a few years old were corroded completely through their shanks. Roofing screws were the most common building elements showing corrosion. Screws nearest the windward edge of buildings seemed to be at the greatest risk. Other building components and structural elements were less affected by corrosion. The actual percentage of screws that were corroded is quite low, but the fact that they occurred in groups at a highly loaded part of the roof is a cause for concern
