| Abstract |
Wood and Earth are representative materials in Korean traditional architecture. As Koreans use the materials, Korean traditional architecture is very similar to environment-friendly architecture which is a kind of technology that makes architecture more natural. The purpose of this study is to find out how to join wooden columns and earth-finished walls in Korean traditional architecture. This study explored some different joint-types and classified the types of joints between wooden columns and earth-finished walls in the Korean traditional architecture technology, and analyzed the air-penetrating characteristics of the joint-types by wind tunnel test. The results of this study are as follows: The air-penetrating characteristics of the joint-types between wooden columns and earth-finished walls were affected by the types of joint, the length of join, and the friction level created by the shape. This study will be the first step toward finding and developing the effective joint technology in Korean traditional architecture design and construction. |
