The demands about eco friendly space are increased as buildings are denser in downtown, and green system on the roof and the artificial ground are widely being applied. The construction of green system applies a waterproof layer, a root barrier and a protection concrete layer. Assembly of these many layers leads to a long construction term, and cause many defects. This study is to evaluate one layer-hybrid sheet which gets waterproof and root barrier performance simultaneously, which is developed to use in the new green system. As results, the performances of physical properties, durability, waterproof and root barrier not only exceeded quality standards but also showed excellent durability. In addition, mock-up test would be proceed to certify long term performance.

Installation of a proper root barrier in a green roof system is very important in order to protect the concrete slab of roof and the root penetration in the waterproofing layer. To select the proper root barrier materials and methods, it is necessary to understand the environmental conditions affecting the waterproofing-root barrier system in green roof construction site. Therefore, we suggested as the environmental performance indexes four kinds of performance requirements; root penetration, chemical attack by chemical agent or fertilizer, load impact by soil depth and size of plant, and water pressure. The related four test methods were suggested for the inspection of these performance indexes. In this research, we could suggest for kinds of test methods as standard test methods to evaluate the environmental performance of waterproofing-root barrier for greening roof system.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of limited methods, economics and breeding appropriateness of native and imported ground cover plants in the methodology of a shallow soil rooftop garden. The new shallow soil rooftop gardening method uses a total of 13cm in soil thickness, including 4.5cm of top soil on a 7.5cm rock-wool-mat stacked onto a 1cm roll-type-draining plate. The total construction cost for each method of soil level within the design price standard for SEDUM BLOCK is 89,433won/$m^2$, and for DAKU is 92,550won/$m^2$. By comparing those two methods, the construction cost of the shallow soil artificial foundation methodology is 45,000won/$m^2$; this shows the new method is 50% less expensive than the existing method of shallow soil rooftop gardening. The experiment was executed on the rooftop of the Korean National Housing Corporation to ensure validity of the shallow soil artificial foundation planting, and the sample plants which were imported and grown now in native covering. A list investigating the growing plants was made of the cover rate in each plant class, both while alive and the dry plant weight. The native ground cover plants, Sedum kamtschaticum, Sedum middendorffianum, Allium senescens, Sedum sarmentosum, Aquilegia buergariana, and Caryopteris incana increased the cover rate, live weight and dry weight in the shallow soil artificial foundation method. Among the imported cover plants, Sedum sprium and Sedum reflexum, the cover rate increased and growth conditions improved. However, some species needed weed maintenance. After examination with the less expensive shallow soil artificial foundation method and growth analysis, it was found that rooftop gardens are a low-cost option and the growth of plants is great. This result shows the new method can contribute to the proliferation of rooftop gardens in urban settings.

According to the increment of urban buildings, the demand of eco-environment space will be also increased. Therefore, the artificial ground green system on a roof will be supplied gradually. In this study, the concept of simplification, unification and prefabrication was widely applied to supply green system. Consequently, the box unit system with a continuous soil layer was developed, and adhesive property, wind resistance and insulation property of this system were evaluated for site application. As a results of adhesive property and wind resistance test, comparing with design wind pressure and wind velocity, this system was safe at the height of 100m building located in urban. In addition, results of temperature measurement for 120 days showed 17% higher insulation property at daytime and 45% higher insulation property at night than normal box unit system owing to continuous soil layer.

최근 도시의 왜곡된 물순환 문제를 해결하기 위해서 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 기법을 적극적으로 도입하고 있다. 저영향개발은 자연의 침투, 증발산, 여과 등의 자연기작을 모방하여 강우유출수를 침투 및 저류시키는 기법으로 물순환 체계를 회복시킬 수 있다. 저영향개발 기법의 하나인 벽면녹화는 건축물이나 기반 시설물의 벽면과 같은 인공지반에 기반을 조성하고 식물을 식재하는 시설로 짧은 시간에 녹지 면적을 만들 수 있다. 또한, 건축물로 인해 생겨난 수직적인 면을 녹지로 활용할 수 있어 도시에 매우 특화된 시설이다. 본 연구는 벽면녹화의 저영향개발 시설로서의 성능을 확인하기 위해 실내 실험을 진행하여 강우유출수 저감효과 및 지체시간 지연효과를 확인하였다. 강우유출수 저감효과는 유입량 대비 저류량을 기준으로 유출저감률을 산정하여 분석하였으며, 총 유출시간을 측정하여 지연효과를 판단하였다. 벽면녹화 현장실험 대상지는 경상남도 양산시 물금읍 부산대학교 양산캠퍼스에 위치한 한국 녹색인프라저영향개발센터이며, 실내에 플랜터형 벽면녹화 시스템을 적용하였다. 부산시 금정구 2012년~2021년의 강수량을 사용해 백분위수 강우사상을 기준으로 30, 50, 70mm/hr의 강우 시나리오를 선정하였다. 물순환 효과를 판단하기 위해 불투수면을 대조군으로 설정하여 불투수면의 유출이 종료되는 시점까지 지표면 유출을 모니터링 하였다. 그 결과, 30, 50, 70mm/hr 시나리오별 유출률은 91.76%, 92.18%, 94.54%로 불투수면과 대비하여 유출이 적게 발생하였으며 총 유출시간은 불투수면대비 47분, 88분, 58분 증가하여 지연효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 실험을 통해 벽면녹화의 수문학적 성능을 분석하고자 유출량 저감효과와 지연효과를 확인하였다. 추후 다양한 강우 시나리오와 제원에 따라 실험이 수행된다면 더 정확히 벽면녹화의 물순환 효과를 확인할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to test performances of 14 types of root barrier materials by applying testing plant: and soils suitable for weather and natural features of Korea. For testing Plants, Plioblastus pygmaed Mitford A and Pyracantha angustifolia have been selected. For testing soil, mixture of pearlite and peat moss in 3:1 ratio Testing container has been fabricated with duplicated structure having inner and outer containers. And the outer container has 2 hinges on its side wall to allow opening and closing. Wet rock wool with 50mm in thickness has been inserted between inner and outer containers to allow root to penetrate through root barrier material and continue to grow. We planted 12 Plioblastus pygmaed Mitford A. and 4 Pyracantha angustifolia per one testing container. Three testing samples have been made for 1 type of root barrier material, which become a total 42 specimens. Planted testing samples have been installed within the greenhouse, which will be observed regularly for 2 years from now on. We started test from July 11, 2008 and had performed intermediate observations every month for initial 3 months. From the 3rd intermediate observation on Sept. 18, we confirmed that 6 types of roe barrier materials have penetrated roots. Even though two types of them have been generally used as root barrier materials for roof planting system, all of three testing samples have a lot of penetrated roots. This result proves that it is not reasonable to introduce testing methods of root barrier from Europe. USA or Japan.

Recently, the expansion of housing developments has reduced green areas in cities. The reduction of green areas caused many negative effects on human beings. For functional improvement of ecosystem, government focuses on artificial ground greening because it gives improving microclimate and saving energy consumption. This research aims to develop the system to support decision making of greening for artificial ground greening. This system consist of rooftop greening, wall greening, and street greening system which can suggest proper type of greening and calculate the effect of the greening considering the proponents inputs. It presents social, economic, and ecological value such as cost, energy saving, and temperature reduction. As it is web-based system users can easily access with internet. This system provides automatic selection modes.As a result, with this developed web-based system, decision makers can evaluate the effect of artificial ground green easily and the support to such movement will increase.
