The Properties of Concretes for Planting Vegetations Based on Porous Concretes

다공질 콘크리트를 이용한 식생용 콘크리트 특성 - 다공질 콘크리트의 물리화학적 특성을 중심으로 -

This study was carried out to find out the capability of applying such materials as porous concrete, could be called environmentally friendly materials, for bringing vegetations. For verying the purpose of the experiments such materials as potland cement and slag cement, coarse aggravates(${\phi}25mm$, ${\phi}18mm$, ${\phi}13mm$) were mixed. In the voids of porous concrete peatmoss and chemical fertilizers were filled, and on the surface of concrete organic soils were adhered for seeding grasses. For testing compressive strength, pH, voids the 12($4mixed{\times}3times$) specimens were manufactured. As results, the compressive strength of porous concretes were from 59 to $267kg/cm^2$ depend on mixed ratios between cements and coarse aggregates. Voids of concrete were from 33% to 40% and the pH were varied pH 8-10.5. So the capability of planting vegetations was to be ascertained. The germination and growth of grasses were not good, but it could be found out that the capability of vegetations on the concretes. For generalizing these results and applying on the construction sites, it is necessary to verificate following studies for various conditions.
