Because of its durability and strength, more and more porous concrete has been used for riverbank protection or greenery foundations required by law. This study has been developed based on the 1996′s Hoyano and Horiguchi theory proposing a rooftop planting system using porous concrete, and describes a new type of rooftop planting system without a soil layer on the porous concrete. This report also discusses reuse of waste (fly ash generated from thermal power stations and aggregate made of ALC panel waste) to configure a newly proposed thin-type rooftop planting system. Additionally, this report describes the outline and usefulness of an outdoor experimental device for measuring the water/heat balance of the rooftop planting system.
