Abstract: A method for installing a cover strip between a roofing membrane and an edge metal flashing positioned over a portion of the roofing membrane, includes using a cover strip or a self-adhering cover strip to bridge a joint formed between the edge metal flashing and the roofing membrane. One end of the cover strip is indirectly or directly bonded to the edge metal flashing by using an adhesive whereas the other end is heat-welded or adhesively bonded to the roofing membrane.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating crack intensity on polymeric sheet based on predetermined scale of crack intensity grades, which includes the steps of a) recording digital image of at least portion of surface of polymeric sheet using apparatus for recording digital images; and b) automatic classification of crack intensity by computer-implemented program for pattern recognition by means of trained artificial neural network, including 1) inputting digital image or one or more subareas of digital image to trained artificial neural network as input data, 2) classification by artificial neural network by assigning grade from predetermined scale of crack intensity grades to digital image or one or more subareas and 3) outputting assigned grade or grades for digital image and/or one or more subareas as output data, wherein artificial neural network is trained in advance in learning phase with plurality of digital images or subareas thereof of polymeric sheet surface portions.
