    Integrated master capstone: principles and terminology

    One teaching job carried from drawing to closeout: the seven handoffs, the paper each leaves behind, which document wins when two disagree, and why approval never moves responsibility.

    You will be able to: Name the documents a flashing job produces from drawing to closeout, say who owns each, and read a contract's order of precedence.

    Integrated master capstone: materials, standards and design constraints

    Wind and edge securement, thermal movement, fabrication limits and metal compatibility: which document supplies each number, whose value it is, and what to do when two documents disagree.

    You will be able to: Identify the four constraint families on edge metal, name which document or register supplies each, and recognise when two documents conflict.

    Integrated master capstone: methods and worked application

    The eight-step method run on the teaching job: flat width and limits, piece count, joints, movement, wind beside tested ratings, one maker's installation sequence, and the packet that carries every assumption.

    You will be able to: Apply a documented method to the teaching job: check the profile against AFS limits, plan pieces and joints, compute movement, set wind demand beside tested ratings, and assemble the packet with its assumptions.

  4. Lesson 4 · 11 min · 12 slides · 8 questions

    Integrated master capstone: defects, verification and case study

    Why the roof edge gets attention, how to diagnose a defect by load path, a constructed case with no invented measurements, and the closeout and warranty documents that keep the evidence.

    You will be able to: Diagnose a plausible edge-metal defect by load path, choose corrective options, and document evidence through closeout and warranty review.

Practical task

Build the job packet for the teaching run, or for a run of your own with stated inputs. Check the profile against the AFS limits, plan pieces and joints, work the movement, set the wind demand beside the tested rating without calling it a pass or fail, mark up a coping detail, and list every assumption with its unit and whether it is given, assumed or to confirm.

Hand in

  • A decision rationale for the profile, piece count and joint layout, with each input labelled as given, assumed or to confirm
  • A marked-up coping detail showing the cover, cleat, nailer, membrane and fasteners, with the maker values labelled as the maker's
  • The movement and wind calculations with units and the source of every coefficient and rating
  • The shop and field inspection checklist completed for one run
  • A defect analysis for the constructed case: the load path, the evidence you would collect, the question you would send, and the log row you would open

Rubric

CriterionMeets the standard when
AssumptionsEvery input is listed with its unit and marked given, assumed or to confirm, and no unset value is treated as known.
Limits and piecesThe flat width and piece count are worked from the AFS register, with the standard and maximum piece lengths kept apart.
Joints and movementThe joint count is worked for a specification with only a maximum interval and for one that carries the extra-joint sentence, the project specification decides which applies, and an RFI is written only where it is silent or unclear, and movement is worked from a metal temperature with a named coefficient source.
WindDemand and tested rating appear side by side with the engineer of record named as the decider, and nothing is marked pass or fail.
Source attributionEvery number says whose it is: AFS register, maker, federal specification, standards body or exercise input.
Defect analysisThe diagnosis names a load path, lists the evidence to collect without inventing measurements, and ends in a documented step.

3. According to SPRI's slide, what does the 2021 IBC wording clarify about metal edge?
4. At what height above a lower level does 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(10) call for fall protection on low-slope roofs with unprotected sides and edges?
5. Which of these is one of the seven handoffs between drawing and closeout in AFS's chain?
6. What flat width (girth) does the worked example give for the starter coping, hems included?
7. According to SPRI, what do the ES-1 standards leave out?
8. In Drexel's Econo Coping guide, where does the 1/8 in thermal gap go?
