IBC defines site seismicity by means of seismic contour lines, proximity, construction type, and building occupancy, and provide numerical values for the acceleration used for design. The correct design of critical elements such as frames, shear walls, diaphragms, and their connections is of utmost...
In this study, root barrier tests were conducted over two years with nine types of sheet type waterproof materials that are the most commonly used as root barrier layers in green roof systems. The test conditions prepared considered the climates, natural features and vegetation in Korea and the ...
