| Abstract |
The hwangtoh is one of the traditional and environment friendly construction materials used as part of a wall, plastering material, and ondol (Korean underfloor heating system) with stones and woods in Korean style house. It has many advantages such as; high storage of heat, auto-purification, antibiotic ability, and emission of far infrared rays. But, it is not developed and used in modern construction material now, because of its low strength and properties of dry shrinkage crack. According to the recent researches and studies, it is evaluated for natural pozzolanic material like flyash or pozzolan. Its possibility in construction material is high because its chemical and mineralogical proportions are like Metakaolin and Kaolinite. In this point of view, this study aims to analyze the basic physical properties of hwangtoh mortar through an experiment with various activation conditions of hwangtoh and mixing conditions of mortar, for the purpose of increasing the possibility of using it as modern construction material. |
