A "built up" roof is the traditional term for one built up of multiple
layers of tar and felt fabric. Seams are somewhat unimportant due to
the multiple staggered layers.  A membrane roof uses one layer of a
thick synthetic rubber where the seams are "welded" or sealed.  Use of
"ballast" (gravel) is often connected with whether there are panels of
foam insulation on top of the membrane ("inverted roof").  If the
insulation was not ballasted, it would blow away in the wind.  I have
seen some pretty damn big stones on top of large commercial roofs.
OTOH, I have had both built up and membrane roofs without "ballast".
In fact I have one now.  There is no insulation on top (its
underneath) so nothing to ballast.
