Abstract

A roofing system includes a first sandwich panel, a second sandwich panel and a support panel. The first sandwich panel, which forms at least a portion of the roof structure, has a first outer layer and a second outer layer spaced from the first outer layer by a panel core. The first sandwich panel includes a first angle edge, which includes an edge portion of the panel core and an edge portion of at least the first outer layer. The second sandwich panel includes a first outer layer and a second outer layer spaced from the first outer layer by a second panel core, wherein the edge portion of the first sandwich panel is supported, at least in part, by one or more outer surface Depending on the length of the roofing system and / or other design criteria, the roofing system includes one or more support panels secured between the first sandwich panel and the second sandwich panel to provide additional support for the roof structure.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates generally to constructing buildings, and more particularly, to a roofing system for reinforcing and / or stiffening at least a portion of a roof structure formed from one or more composite sandwich panels.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

[0002] There is an increasing global demand for lower-cost buildings such as houses, warehouses and office space. The demand for lower cost buildings is particularly strong in developing countries where economic resources may be limited and natural resources and raw materials may be scarce. For example, in areas of the Middle East or Africa, conventional building materials such as cement, brick, wood or steel may not be readily available or, if available, may be very expensive. In other areas of the world, poverty may make it too costly for people to build houses or other buildings with conventional materials.

[0003] The demand for lower-cost housing also is high in areas afflicted by war o...
