| Abstract |
Recently, the Korean Government is driving the construction of Jangbogo Station, the Korea's second Antarctic station, to expand the Antarctic research activities. It is scheduled to be constructed in the Antarctic coast, Terra Nova Bay from 2012 and researcher group has visited construction site to investigate field condition with the Temporary Camps. This Temporary Camps are the first Antarctica architecture of Korea and it uses prefab method due to the short construction period, severe climate and other reasons. This paper treats the Temporary Camps from design to manufacture phase and the purpose is to build a data base for the Antarctic architecture construction. The Temporary Camps have been manufactured using unit box modular as prefabrication architecture and constructed for researcher as a shelter last winter. The reason of selection unit box is to save construction period and transportation. And the verification of unit box method in Antarctic is also this paper's purpose because the Jangbogo Station is adopting the same construction method. They have transported from domestic factory to Terra Nova Bay and the route to site is very far. Motor vehicles, icebreaker ship, Araon, and the helicopter has taken to move them and component of the Temporary Camps, wall, roof, window has been divided to small parts enough to carry without heavy construction machine. The flexible plan, storage space, window shape, colour plan, daylighting, thermal performance, structure stiffness are the major considered points when the camp was designed and heat tranmission coefficient of wall, window is 0.14kW/m2K, 0.8kW/m2K. The manufacture period in domestic took over twenty days and the cost rate of manufacture, transportation, and construction is 0.71, 0.25, 0.04 respectively and the index of manufactured development and factory cost rate is 0.73, 0.72 respectively. |
