peer agreement (net): -1| meerveldsoverspanning multi-span roof structure; multiple span roof system Explanation: There are 'multi-span roof structures', and 'single-span roof structures'. See, e.g.: • 'With a span of 317 metres (1,040 ft), this steel arch is the longest single-span roof structure in the world and, uniquely for a stadium, requires beacons for low-flying aircraft.' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wembley_Stadium )+ • 'To determine the validity of the new restraint force prediction equation, experimental testing was conducted on single span and multiple span metal roof systems.' (http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-07122001-1236... ) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2012-11-01 22:26:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 'enkelvelds-overspanningen', or 'enkelveldsoverspanningen' are then obviously 'single-span roof structures/systems' Example sentence(s):

peer agreement (net): +1multi-span roof decking Explanation: The trapezoidal steel sheets that carry the roof decking are normally laid in lengths of up to 10 m and supported on three or four purlins (two or three spans). If a cut-out in the roof is made, e.g. for a skylight, the remaining parts of the sheet may be supported on just two purlins. The sheet will then deflect considerably more under loads (e.g. snow).
