Remarks
Roof decks transfer the roof loads to the underlying joists and purlins. Damage to the roof deck results in the breach of the building envelope, resulting in significant building and interior damage.

With respect to seismic performance, the weight of the roof can be critical. It is not desirable to make the roof heavy because it induces higher lateral forces in the structure during shaking.
