Análisis de la durabilidad de la cubierta plana invertida, a través del estudio de las interacciones e incompatibilidades entre las membranas sintéticas y el poliestireno extrusionado

Abstract

The inverted flat roof is formed from a waterproofing membrane on which the thermal insulation is placed. These materials may be separated with auxiliary layers, which prevent the direct contact between them. Many of the materials forming this constructive solution can be polymers, such as some waterproofing membranes, the auxiliary separating layers, or the extruded polystyrene board (XPS).Most polymers are incompatible, so this thesis hypothesized that interactions and incompatibilities between some of these materials might be possible. Therefore, a literature search, and other documentation that could be related to the topic, are studied and analyzed, as well as, standards and documentation provided by manufacturers.However, after consulting all literature and documents referenced in this dissertation, it was not found any research about the influence of interaction between the materials forming the inverted flat roof, and how this affects to the durability of them.
