Abstract

In many buildings, the roof is a major element that gives the building its distinctive profile .The main purpose of a roof is to protect the building or the house in all types of weather with a minimum of maintenance .a roof must be strong to with stand snow and wind loads. Another consideration is appearance .a roof should add to the attractiveness of the building roof styles are used to create different architectural effects. This paper reports a study on flat roof systems include the layers of structural elements of the roof, types of finish used, flashing, roof edging, drainage, and other details associated with the roof.
