12.1 CORRUGATED GALVANISED STEEL SHEET ROOFING

12.1.1 C.G.S. Sheets

These shall be of the thickness specified in the description of the item and shall conform to IS 277.
The sheets shall be of 275 grade of coating (See Appendix-A) unless otherwise specified in the
description of item.

CPWD SPECIFICATIONS 2009 486

 The sheets shall be free from cracks, split edges, twists, surface flaws etc. They shall be clean,
bright and smooth. The galvanising shall be non-injured and in perfect condition. The sheets shall not
show signs of rust or white powdry deposits on the surface. The corrugations shall be uniform in depth
and pitch and parallel with the side.

12.1.2 Purlins
Purlins of the specified material or M.S. rolled sections of requisite size shall be fixed over the
principal rafters. These shall not be spaced at more than the following distances. (Table 12.1)

TABLE 12.1

Thickness of C.G.S. sheet Maximum spacing of purlins

1.00 mm 2.00 metre
0.80 mm 1.80 metre
0.63 mm 1.60 metre

The top surfaces of the purlins shall be uniform and plane. They shall be painted before fixing on top.
Embedded portions of wooden purlins shall be coal tarred with two coats.

12.1.3 Slope
Roof shall not be pitched at a flatter slope than 1 vertical to 5 horizontal. The normal pitch adopted
shall usually be 1 vertical to 3 horizontal.

12.1.4 Laying and Fixing

12.1.4.1 The sheets shall be laid and fixed in the manner described below, unless otherwise shown in
the working drawings or directed by the Engineer-in-Charge.

12.1.4.2 The sheets shall be laid on the purlins to a true plane, with the lines of corrugations parallel or
normal to the sides of the area to be covered unless otherwise required as in special shaped roofs.

12.1.4.3 The sheets shall be laid with a minimum lap of 15 cm at the ends and 2 ridges of corrugations
at each side. The above minimum end lap of 15 cm shall apply to slopes of 1 vertical to 2 horizontal and
steeper slopes. For flatter slopes the minimum permissible end lap shall be 20 cm. The minimum lap of
sheets with ridge, hip and valley shall be 20 cm measured at right angles to the line of the ridge, hip and
valley respectively. These sheets shall be cut to suit the dimensions or shapes of the roof, either along
their length or their width or in a slant across their lines of corrugations at hips and valleys. They shall be
cut carefully with a straight edge chisel to give a smooth and straight finish.

12.1.4.4 Lapping in C.G.S. sheets shall be painted with a coat of approved steel primer and two coats of
painting with approved paint suitable for G.S. sheet, before the sheets are fixed in place.

12.1.4.5 Sheets shall not generally be fixed into gables and parapets. They shall be bent up along their
side edges close to the wall and the junction shall be protected by suitable flashing or by a projecting
drip course, the later to cover the junction by at least 7.5 cm.

12.1.4.6 The laying operation shall include all scaffolding work involved.

12.1.4.7 Sheets shall be fixed to the purlins or other roof members such as hip or valley rafters etc. with
galvanised J or L hook bolts and nuts, 8 mm diameter, with bitumen and G.I. limpet washers or with a
limpet washer filled with white lead as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. While J hooks are used for
fixing sheets on angle iron purlins, and L hooks are used for fixing the sheet to R.S. joists, timber or
precast concrete purlins. The length of the hook bolt shall be varied to suit the particular requirements.

487 SUB HEAD 12.0 : ROOFING

The bolts shall be sufficiently long so that after fixing they project above the top of the nuts by not less
than 10 mm. The grip of J or L hook bolt on the side of the purlin shall not be less than 25 mm. There
shall be a minimum of three hook bolts placed at the ridges of corrugations in each sheet on every purlin
and their spacing shall not exceed 30 cm. Coach screws shall not be used for fixing sheets to purlins.

12.1.4.8 The galvanised coating on J or L hooks, and bolts shall be continuous and free from defects
such as blisters, flux stains, drops, excessive projections or other imperfections which would impair
serviceability.

The galvanised coating should conform to IS 1367 (Pt. XIII) The mass of coating per square meter of
the surface shall be as under:

Mass and Equivalent Thickness of Coating

Minimum Mass Average Thickness Minimum Mass Individual Thickness

(g/m2) (µm) (g/m2) (µm)
375 54 300 43

12.1.4.9 Where slopes of roofs are less than 21.5 degrees (1 vertical to 2.5 horizontal) sheets shall be
joined together at the side laps by galvanised iron bolts and nuts 25 × 6 mm size, each bolt provided
with a bitumen and a G.I. limpet washer or a G.I. limpet washer filled with white lead. As the overlap at
the sides extends to two corrugations, these bolts shall be placed zig-zag over the two overlapping
corrugations, so that the ends of the overlapping sheets shall be drawn tightly to each other. The
spacing of these seam bolts shall not exceed 60 cm along each of the staggered rows. Holes for all bolts
shall be drilled and not punched in the ridges of the corrugations from the underside, while the sheets
are on the ground.

12.1.5 Wind Tie

Wind ties shall be of 40 x 6 mm flat iron section or of other size as specified. These shall be fixed at
the eaves of the sheets. The fixing shall be done with the same hook bolts which secure the sheets to
the purlins. The ties shall be paid for separately unless described in the item of roofing.

12.1.6 Finish
The roof when completed shall be true to lines, and slopes and shall be leak proof.

12.1.7 Measurements

12.1.7.1 The length and breadth shall be measured correct to a cm. Area shall be worked out in sqm
correct to two places of decimal.

12.1.7.2 The superficial area of roof covering shall be measured on the flat without allowance for laps
and corrugations. Portion of roof covering overlapping the ridge or hip etc. shall be included in the
measurements of the roof.

12.1.7.3 Roof with curved sheets shall be measured and paid for separately. Measurements shall be
taken on the flat and not girthed.

12.1.7.4 No deduction in measurement shall be made for opening upto 0.4 sqm and nothing extra shall
be allowed for forming such openings. For any opening exceeding 0.4 sqm in area, deduction in
measurements for the full opening shall be made and in such cases the labour involved in making these
openings shall be paid for separately. Cutting across corrugation shall be measured on the flat and not
girthed. No additions shall be made for laps cut through.
