The capacity of a roof to carry lateral loads on walls to bracing walls was investigated using panel testing and a theoretical approach. The mechanism of failure was found to be ductile, but it is important for the continued serviceability of the roof that tearing of the roof sheeting does not commence. Sheet tearing can be initiated by cyclic uplift loading, or by the in-plane-of-roof loads detailed in this work. The interaction of these two effects necessitates the use of a large load factor for lateral loads on domestic buildings when considering in-plane-of-roof forces .550.
