The purpose of this study was to determine the cause of some roof collapse accidents that occurred in recent cultural heritage damage cases. The specimens were made in half shape of the roof and observed variation of load, temperature and humidity through real-time monitoring. After 1 month, 2 months and 4 months later, two of the specimens were dismantled, and the moisture content of the soil and rafters were obtained through drying. After 4 months, the load of the specimens decreased by about 5.2%. The moisture content of the quicklime and soil showed a decrease with the passage of time, but the decrease of the soil on the lattice sticks across roof rafters is not clear. The rafters do not tend to decrease the rate of moisture content with the passage of time. For the moisture content according to location, the area near the main beam is the highest.
