Abstract

Rock materials of the three-storied stone pagoda in the Cheongryongsa temple in Korea are mainly composed of gneissose two-mica granite and fine-grained granite. This stone pagoda shows structural instability due to cracks and breaking-out of the stones. The surface properties of the stone is highly degraded by various inorganic pollutants and epilithic biospecies. Therefore, this study carried out comprehensive deterioration diagnosis by non-destructive methods, and some conservation treatments base on the diagnosis were carried out to reduce weathering progress. As the treatments, the biospecies and lichen that covering on the stone surfaces were removed by dry and wet cleaning, and degraded concrete applied to the pagoda for restoration in the past was removed and repaired with epoxy resin. Oxidized iron plates inserted between the rock properties were also substituted titanium stainless steels. After all processes are completed, we sprayed consolidant on the rock surface. Finally, the ground of the stone pagoda was rearranged using small rock aggregates, and the fence was established for control of artificial deterioration by visitors and environmental maintenance.

안성 청룡사삼층석탑의 구성암석은 대부분 편마상 복운모 화강암과 세립질 화강암으로 이루어져 있다. 이 석탑은 거의 전면에 걸쳐 나타나는 부재의 균열과 결실이 탑의 구조안정성을 위협한다. 또한 표면의 무기오염물과 다양한 서식형태를 갖는 생물침해는 석재표면의 손상을 가중시키고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 석탑에 대한 종합적인 비파괴훼손도 진단을 수행하고 이를 근거로 풍화를 저감시키기 위해 최소한의 보존처리를 수행하였다. 보존처리에서는 석탑의 전면에 걸쳐 자생하는 지의류 및 생물오염물을 건식 및 습식 세정하였으며, 과거 이 석탑의 보수에 사용되었던 노화된 콘크리트를 제거하고 합성수지를 이용하여 복원하였다. 부재사이에 삽입된 부식된 철편은 티타늄 강철 합금으로 교체하였으며, 모든 공정이 완료된 후에 석질 강화처리를 실시하였다. 또한 석탑의 지반과 주위환경을 보강하고 정비하였으며 관람객에 의한 손상을 제어하기 위한 보호시설을 설치하였다.
