As with all traditional architecture in the world, Korean traditional architecture is the result of the best adaptation to the given environment. Traditional Korean architecture is most closely related to the geographical, climatic, cultural and humanities elements of the Korean Peninsula. Also, it has long been refined to meet the needs of Koreans. In particular, Hanok, a residential architecture, is closely related to people's lives. It is also recognized for its excellence in various advantages. Hanok is built with eco-friendly materials, satisfying the housing needs of many people today. Therefore, it is becoming a subject of much concern.
However, despite its excellent performance, Hanok is struggling to expand its base due to its high construction cost and insulation performance. Since the four seasons are clear in Korea, residential architecture needs to be appropriately adapted to all changing environments. Especially in summer and winter, air conditioning and heating are required. Therefore, insulation performance is necessary to prevent heat loss in buildings. Traditional Hanok structures have been pointed out as disadvantages due to insufficient insulation due to their wall composition. In addition, materials and labor costs are expensive because of the construction characteristics of the main structural parts used as wood. Other problems include embalmment, flame repellent and insect repellent. They are hampering the popularization of Hanok.
In order to solve the above problems, this study investigates the eco-friendly wall structure of Hanok that combines the eco-friendly technology with embalmment, flame repellent and insect repellent functions and modular wall with improved construction cost saving and insulation. We are trying to promote the excellence of Hanok and contribute to the promotion of Hanok.
This paper is a study on the insulation performance of Hanok walls. In addition to ensuring confidentiality, the construction convenience of lightweight components, the structural performance of wooden structures, and the mechanical performance of wall fastening have been improved. The results of the study are summarized as follows.
First, the airtight performance of the wall body has been improved. In order to ensure insulation performance, a groove is made into the column where the wall line can be inserted closely into the joint between the column and the wall line, and the method of inserting the wall line is applied. In addition, the method of minimizing drying shrinkage and integrating composition is applied by selective machining of heartwood or sapwood materials. As a result, the wall can be prevented from falling off and the deformation can be minimized.
Second, construction costs have been reduced due to material savings. Instead of using the whole log, square wood centered on the side wood is used. In addition, Pseudotsuga menziesii was used as a log tree species, which dramatically reduced material costs through high yields.
Third, the construction period can be shortened by ensuring ease of construction and installation. Through the construction of processing systems and detailed data about the main components of Hanok, large-scale production can be carried out in factories. Therefore, standardized processes and cost management systems can be established through this process to shorten the construction period and reduce the cost.
Fourth, the structural safety of the wall body was confirmed. The results of tensile strength experiment and flexural tensile strength experiment on prototype exceeded the target strength. Therefore, it was confirmed that there was no structural safety problem
As mentioned above, Hanok construction has been hampered by high construction costs and insulation performance problems. It is hoped that the results of this study will be applied to Hanok architecture to revitalize the spread of Hanok.
