Another important factor in the slope of buildings is the influence of the environment on the design and engineering of the slope. Designers should pay attention to the fact that slope design in cold regions requires special preparations and in tropical regions, other preparations are required. In these areas, the slope of the roof is implemented in a way so that the gutters are located in the sunny part of the roof. Paying attention to such factors in the design of the slope is of great importance in preventing possible problems and facilitating water drainage.
Sleep floor
The sleeping floor is one of the important parts of the building. The bed is a metal piece. This piece is usually made of iron, galvanized sheet or copper. Copper sleeping floor is more used in important buildings.
The sleeping floor can have different forms that are determined depending on its application and place of use. The purpose of using the floor is to direct the rainwater towards the gutter, and the trail of the floor must continue inside the gutter itself. Of course, all parts of the sleeping floor must be covered with insulation.
The slope percentage
Another important parameter in the slope of the building is the slope percentage. The basic selection of the slope percentage is one of the most important points that should be considered by designers in order to facilitate and accelerate the exit of water as much as possible. The slope percentage has a specific sign in the slope plans. This percentage is shown with an arrow that indicates the direction of movement and direction of the water and the amount of slope considered next to it. In addition, the amount of slope determined in different corners of the roofs is recorded by coding.
The importance of the number of gutters in the slope of the building
One of the other important things in the slope of the building is considering the number of gutters. Gutters are used to collect water and direct it out of the roof. The number of gutters is determined based on the size of the roof. If the surface of the roof is wide, more water will accumulate in it, and as a result, more gutters will be needed. It is necessary to install at least one gutter for every hundred square meters of roof area. Therefore, the number of gutters is one of the most effective parameters in the exit of water from the roof.
The importance of the stretch arm in the slope of the building
Tension arm is one of the other things that should be considered by designers in the slope of a building. It is the horizontal distance from the wall of the roof bump to the location of the tension arm gutter. The most important point in the design of the tension arm is that the length of the arm should not exceed 7 meters because the dead load of the roof will be heavy.
The conventional contractual signs in the slope of the building
In the slope of the building, various signs are used to show the characteristics of the slope. Water sign is one of these signs. The water mark actually indicates the location of the water, and it shows this place with a small circle with a diameter of 10 cm. The slope sign is actually an arrow that indicates the direction of water flow from the sides of the roof to the water side. The slope percentage is shown on the arrow in the direction of water movement on the slope path. The height code of the finished roof floor is displayed right next to the water surface with its own sign. This code is also written on the sides of the roof while calculating the height of the slope.
Also, the number written on the level next to the water is actually the number of the roof floor, and the number written on the level mark on the sides of the roof is the number obtained after calculating the height of the slope.
Light concrete in the slope of the building
The term "light concrete" refers to concrete that uses light materials such as pumice or stones containing porosity in its granulation. This concrete plays an important role in the slope of the building. After determining the size, the height is created using several brick veins. In fact, at this stage, they pull a string from the desired point to the location of the gutter. Since the height of the gutter location is considered to be zero, this rope determines the slope of the roof, then they fill the bottom of the rope with materials such as sand mortar, cement and brick pieces.
