The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the soil load for artificial ground on a building's structural expenses. Three types of soil - 100% soil, soil mixed with 50% perlite, and 100% artificial soil - were used for this study. A one story concrete steel building specific to each soil load was designed, and then, the cost of steel and concrete used for the design was estimated. As the result of this study, the structural expenses in the case of 5:5 mixed soil can be reduced about 17% compare with 100% soil. Using artificial soil, the structural expenses can be cut about 32% compare to 100% soil and about 12% less when 5:5 mixed soil is used. However, considering total expense which includes the structural expense and soil expense, the expense of 5:5 mixed soil have an increase 25% compared with 100% soil. In the artificial soil, the total expense is 45% more expensive than 100% soil and 17% higher when 5:5 mixed soil is used because of the high unit price of artificial soil. This study expected substantial savings in structural cost as the soil-load was lightened. But, savings were significantly reduced because the unit price of the artificial soil is much more expensive than the price of the natural one. Therefore, further research on methods of reducing the unit price of the artificial soil should be conducted in order to extend green space on to artificial ground.

Sludge is generated in the process of water and wastewater treatment, and it has been causing various problems environmentally and economically. The firing technology in pottery industry was applied to the sludge treatment, and the final product was called artificial soil. For the production of artificial soil, lime and chabazite was used as additive, and the mixed material was thermally treated in the firing kiln at $300^{\circ}$ temperature for about 15 minutes. The physico-chemical characteristics of the artificial soil was analyzed and it showed that the artificial soil could be used as a soil conditioner for farmland. The concentrations of the toxic heavy metals in the artificial soil were lower than those in the soil quality standard for farmland. It was high in permeability, total nitrogen and total phosphorous concentrations and surface area of the artificial soil compared to the common field soil. Preliminary cost analysis showed that the sludge treatment cost for artificial soil was less than the disposal cost in the current landfill disposal method. This study illustrated that the artificial soil production process can be a feasible alternative for sludge treatment, and produced artificial soil may he applied to farmland without causing significant adverse effect. Further study is recommended for practical application of the system and verification of the longterm effect of the artificial soil on farmland.

The aim of this study is evaluate artificial soils which are used alone or in a blend with field soil for the greening of artificial ground. To achieve these, determination of physicochemical properties was made in four artificial media[Perlite small grain(PSG), perlite large grain(PLG), crushed porous glass+bark(AS), crushed porous glass(CPG)] used alone and/or in a blend with field soil, then evaluation of their effect on th plant growth of Ligustrum obtusifolium and Syringa vulgaris were conducted. In bulk density of root media at field capacity and the saturated hydraulic conductivity, LG and AS showed good performance. But, PLG was though to be unsuitable as artificial soil when used alone because of poor plant growth. PLG, AS, and CPG were thought to be good when it is used in a blend with field soil. But, PSG was thought to be unsuitable. In the result, PSG is recommended as artificial soil which is used alone for greening of artificial ground. PLG is recommended as artificial soil which is used in a blend with field soil. AS is recommended as artificial soil which is used alone and in a blend with field soil. Thought CPG+field soil(v/v, 1:1) might be undesirable in consideration of the chemical properties in six months after planting, it was thought to be superior to th other treatments in the plant growth. CPG can be used as artificial soil which is used in a blend with field soil. Follow-up studies are being conducted to investigate their effects on the plant growth of the other plants and the practical use of them in artificial grounds.

The purpose of this study is to provide the fundamental material and information for the plant maintenance after rooftop planting through physiochemical characteristics. The characteristics of artificial soils after rooftop planting from 1993 to 1999 was investigated. Fourteen investigation areas were selected from 4 cities(2 areas selected by each year). The analysis of the circumstances of the areas, the physical characteristics, and the chemical characteristics of the soil were conducted. The artificial soil pH ranged 5.26∼7.40 showing that after construction the soil pH tended to decrease. The soil bulk density of the site was lowest in 1999, 0.15g/㎤, and used to increase toward 1993. We found the fact that the soil bulk density increased gradually after rooftop application . The coefficients of permeability of the soils range from 0.016 to 0.052 cm/sec, which seemed to be in good permeability level. The artificial soils had relatively high water moisture capacity of 62.69∼71.36%. The soil organic matter content of the artificial soils ranged from 0.43 to 1.34%. The exchangeable caution concentration in the artificial soil ranged, Na, 2.36∼4.71mg·{TEX}$kg^{-1}${/TEX}, Mg 0.88∼2.84mg·{TEX}$kg^{-1}${/TEX},K 2.97∼9.61 mg·{TEX}$kg^{-1}${/TEX}, and Ca 9.39∼28.23 mg·{TEX}$kg^{-1}${/TEX}. The amount of total N ranged from 0.003 to 0.286% in study sites. Soil chemical properties varied year to year and showed little tend. The research results showed that some characteristics of the artificial soil were changed after rooftop planting, i.e., soil pH and soil bulk density. Soil bulk density had a negative relationship with the coefficient of permeability, showing that the drainage condition might be limited after some period. This study suggests that a diversity of the research in the changes of the plant growth basis on the areas after construction.

Bottom ash (BA) has different macro- and micronutrients such as B, Mo, Fe, Ca, and Mg, providing useful resources for plant growth and soil quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of artificial top-soil treated with BA in park area as a vegetation base material, especially for turfgrass growth. Collected BA was mixed with peat moss and clay at the ratio of 70:10:20 (w/w). In order to evaluate the park quality and turfgrass growth in park area, the artificial soil was applied with BA along with the control or without BA. Result showed that exchangeable K and P were increased by $11.4mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $163mg\;kg^{-1}$, respectively, compared to the control soil when the artificial soil was treated with BA. Microbial population and enzyme activity (Acid-phosphatase, APA) in artificial soil having BA also increased as 2 times and 10%, respectively, compared to the control soil. Comparing turfgrass growth and yield between general soil and artificial soil, about 2 times higher plant yield (fresh weight) was observed as artificial soil was applied comparing to general soil. Furthermore, nutrient concentration in turfgrass was averaged as 0.440% for $P_2O_5$, 0.456% for CaO, 1.198% for $K_2O$ and 0.188% for MgO that all values are higher than general soil (0.323% for $P_2O_5$, 0.416% for CaO, 0.610% for $K_2O$ and 0.173% for MgO). Application of BA can be useful for vegetation base material in park site.

Sludge is generated in the process of water and wastewater treatment, and it has been causing various environmental problems. From this point of view, recycling of sludge appears to be the best way. The firing technology in pottery industry is applied to the sludge treatment , and the final product is called artificial soil. The effect of mixed artificial soil with upland soil was investigated through the crop growth experiment and the physical & chemical characteristics of the mixed soils were analyses. After the growth experiment , mixed soil plots contained more CEC, OM, TN, TP than upland soil plots. This result shows that the artificial soil produced form sludge can be mixed with upland soil, and crop can be increased. From the growth analysis, growth of soybean and corn in the mixed soil plots was better than that in the original upland soil plots. Heavy metals contents in the mixed soil plots were within the quality standard. This is a promising result since in most cases heavy metals are the most concern in the application of sludge product to farmland.

상하수처리과정에서 다량 발생하는 슬러지를 소성처리에 의해 생산한 인공토양의 자연에 안전한 환원가능성을 검토하기 위하여 인공토양의 이화학적 특성을 분석하여 밭토양과 비교하였다. 사용한 하수슬러지는 경기도지역의 하수종말처리장에서 그리고 상수슬러지는 경남지역에서 각각 수거하여 인공토양을 생산하였으며, 생산한 인공토양의 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 인공토양의 입도분석에 의하면 모두 모래로 분류되었으며, pH는 첨가제인 석회의 영향으로 높아서 알카리성을 띠었고, 투수성은 매우 우수하였다. 이러한 특성들은 인공토양을 적절히 혼합사용할 경우에 산성토양의 중화나 배수불량지역의 투수성개선등의 토양개량효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다. (2) 저온소성시킨 인공토양은 유기물성분, 질소성분, CEC등이 밭토양에 비하여 높았으며 인성분은 약간 높은 정도이었다. 입장의 크기는 굵은 모래정도이었으며 비중은 밭토양에 비하여 낮은 편이었다. 저온소성한 인공토양은 조경분야의 토양개량재나 매립장의 복토재등으로 사용을 검토중이다. (3) 고온소성시킨 인공토양은 소성과정에서 유기물과 질소성분등이 연소되어 유기물성분, CEC, 비중, 질소성분이 밭토양에 비하여 모두 낮았다. 입자의 크기는 조절이 가능한데 본 연구에서 생산한 크기는 난석(蘭石)정도의 굵기이었다. 고온소성한 인공토양은 난석(蘭石)이나 오염물질의 흡착재등으로 사용을 검토중이다. (4) 중금속성분의 분석결과에 의하면 저온소성한 인공토양에서 구리성분이 토양환경기준을 약간 상회하나 나머지는 모두 엄격한 농경지에 대한 기준치보다 낮았다. 따라서 인공토양만을 사용하여 농경지를 조성하여도 중금속에 의한 오염가능성이 작은데, 기존의 토양에 토양개량재로서 일부 혼합하였을 경우에는 기존토양의 낮은 중금속농도에 의하여 희석되어 중금속에 의한 환경오염 우려는 거의 없을 것으로 판단된다. (5) 본 연구방법에 의한 슬러지의 인공토양생산방법을 본격적으로 적용하기 위해서는 경제성 개선, 다양한 성분의 슬러지에서도 신뢰할 만한 안정성 확보, 그리고 작물실험을 통한 안정성 검증등의 추가연구가 계속되어야 할것으로 생각된다.

이 연구의 목적은 녹화를 위한 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 인공지반 녹화 시 고려해야 할 기술적 사항은 건물에 미치는 하중과 식물의 생육에 관한 것이다. 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 펄라이트와 자연토양이 혼합된 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 하중으로 인한 영향을 분석하였다. 인공지반이 구조물에 미치는 하중은 인공지반이 포화되었을 때 최대가 되며, 강우강도가 인공지반의 침투능을 증가할 때 인공지반이 포화된다. 인공지반의 포화 여부를 판정하기 위하여 강우 강도는 도시배수시설물 설계에 이용되는 10년 빈도 10분 강우 강도를 이용하였고, 침투능은 정수위투수계수 측정법을 이용하여 산정하였다. 인공토 및 혼합토는 그 비율에 따라 투수계수가 변하며, 특히 다짐 정도에 따라 변동이 큰 것으로 나타났으나, 대부분의 경우 재현기간 10년의 10분 강우강도를 초과하지는 않았다. 따라서 인공지반의 포화단위중량을 구조물 설계의 설계하중으로 적용하여야 함을 알 수 있다.

This study focused on the characteristics of change soil water with respect to soil thickness and soil mixture ratio, in order to effectively carry out an afforestation system for a roof with a low level of management and a light weight. Soil hardness tended to increase as sand particle was increase regardless soil thickness and soil porosity had more higher artificial soil than natural soil mixture. In case of soil pH, natural soil mixture had between 6.7 and 7.4, and artificial soil mixture had 6.0~6.8. Organic matter, electrical conductance and exchangeable content were highest in $L_{10}$, which it had the highest leafmold ratio. Soil moisture tension(kPa) in 15cm soil thickness was observed natural soil mixture had a considerable change but artificial soil mixture had a gradual change when non-rainfall kept on. In the experimental $L_{10}$, $S_{10}$, $S_7L_3$ and $S_5L_5$ object, the amount of moisture tended to rapidly decrease. However, in the experimental $P_7P_1L_2$, $P_6P_2L_2$, $P_5P_3L_2$ and $P_4P_4L_2$ objects, which contained pearlite and peat moss, the amount of moisture tended to gradually decrease. As a result, the use of a artificial soil mixture soil seems to be required for the afforestation of a roof for a low level of management.
