The term "thermal movement" refers to a material's dimensional changes resulting from changes in temperature. A material experiencing a rise or decrease of temperature expands or contract, respectively. Thermal movement of materials in metal panel roof assemblies produces stresses for which of the following reasons:
- A.
Different materials have different coefficients of linear expansion.
- B.
Some components may be exposed to a greater degree of temperature change than others; for example, exterior panels will have a greater temperature-range exposure than the interior structure to which attachment is made.
- C.
Movement of two components occurs in different directions; for example, panel lengths must accommodate vertical, or ridge-to-eave, movement, and ridge flashing must accommodate horizontal movement.
- D.
All of the listed choices could be reasons.
Correct Answer
D. All of the listed choices could be reasons.Explanation

Metal panels must resist sliding forces, typically called "_________ loads". These loads are caused by gravity and snowloads that force metal panels to move downslope. Typical metal roof systems need to be "___________" to resist drag loads but must allow for movement because of panel expansion and contraction.
- A.
Transient - attached
- B.
Gravity - soldered
- C.
Drag - fixed
- D.
Construction - welded
Correct Answer
C. Drag - fixedExplanation

Review the photo. The dotted line represents the fixed point location. Select the correct answer:
- A.
The metal panels are "Attached" at the Ridge and Hip - Sideslope movement is expected to occur
- B.
The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Ridge and Hip - Upslope movement is expected to occur
- C.
The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Eave and Valley - Upslope movement is expected to occur
- D.
The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Ridge and Hip - Downslope movement is expected to occur
Correct Answer
D. The metal panels are "Fixed" at the Ridge and Hip - Downslope movement is expected to occurExplanation

Architectural metal panel roof systems require continuous or closely spaced substrates. Architectural metal panel roof systems are typically water-tight. They are designed to shed water rapidly over the surface of the panels.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
