15、ified inclination.3.2.6.1 DiscussionFor vegetative (green) roofs systemswhere the geocomposite drain layer will be filled with granulardrainage medium, the actual volume is assumed to be 25 % ofthe measured volume. This assumption will allow a directcomparison between geocomposite sheet drains witho

16、ut, re-gard to the granular drainage media used. In computing theactual water capture of a geocomposite sheet drain employed ina specific vegetative (green) roof assembly, the porosity of thegranular drainage medium used must be considered (PracticeE2397)4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This procedure p

17、rovides a method for measuring thevolume of granular media or water, or both, that geocompositedrain layers can hold. The test involves filling the geocompos-ite drain layers with sand and water to establish the respectivevolumes. Since water capture will be influenced by theinclination of the geoco

18、mposite drain layer, the tests areconducted at several inclinations.5. Significance and Use5.1 Determining these performance characteristics of veg-etative (green) roof systems provides information to facilitatethe assessment of related engineering aspects of the facility.Such aspects may include st

19、ructural design requirements,mechanical engineering and thermal design requirements, andfire and life safety requirements.5.1.1 Accurate information about the water and mediaholding capacity of geocomposite drain layers is essential topredict dead load for vegetative (green) roof systems.5.2 Determi

20、ning these performance characteristics of veg-etative (green) roof systems provides information to facilitateassessment of the performance of one vegetative (green) roofsystem relative to one another.5.2.1 Water capture is also useful in assessing irrigationrequirements for vegetative (green) roof d

Apparatus6.1 Apparatuscontains the following:6.1.1 Scale, accurate to 0.005 oz (0.14 g),6.1.2 S

22、coop,6.1.3 Water dropper,6.1.4 4-in. (10-cm) wide strip of aluminum or copper sheetmetal,6.1.5 Latex caulk, and6.1.6 Ruler.7. Conditioning7.1 Cut out a rectangular coupon of the geocomposite drainlayer to be tested.7.2 The coupon should contain only complete, intact recep-tacles. The coupon should c

23、ontain a minimum of four recep-tacles and be at least 6 in. (15 cm) square.8. Procedure8.1 Weigh the coupon in a dry condition, and record.8.2 With the coupon on a level surface, fill the receptacleswith water using a dropper. Excise caution not to moisten otherparts of the coupon.8.3 Transfer the c

The test should be completed for the followinginclinations:8.5.1 2 degrees (3.5 %),8.5.2 5 degrees (8.7 %),8.5.3 10 degrees (17.6 %), and8.5.4 20 degrees (36.4 %).8.6 Form a fence around the margin of the coupon using themetal strip

26、material. As necessary, seal the edge of the fenceusing latex caulk. Allow the caulk to cure. Using the ruler,measure the inside dimensions of the fence.8.7 Weigh the system and record.8.8 Fill the geocomposite drain layer with coarse sand untilthe uppermost asperities are covered. Weigh and record.
