Llenallen

Hi guys, I would like to ask something regarding roofs: How, where and why are each type of roof used? Hope you’d help me out

Pitched roofs are used in places where it's a good idea to use them. Flat roofs are used everywhere else. That is all the types of roofs. 

Good luck with whatever assignment you're half-assing.

thatched straw is pretty cool for most applications - water and fire proof - and cheap!

That "-and cheap!" really killed me with laughter.

If a roof is used to keep water out of a building, and it leaks ... is it still considered a roof?

I guess that depends on your definition of roof, is it a form or a function?

If the roof is on the bottom we call it a "boat"

There are only two types of roof - roofs that leak and roofs that don't leak.

Wrong. There are two types of roofs - roofs that leak and roofs that will leak.

I've walked on my roof, it's 2"x4" @ 24" o.c., little bounce, but all good.  That's how they did it 100 years ago...Since there was no insulation the snow just melts right off, so no snow load.
