Abstract

The purposes of this study were to analyze the mineralogical characteristics of slaked lime used for wall repair of traditional buildings in Bagan, Myanmar and to evaluate the physical properties of lime plaster produced by the same method as Bagan region. In the X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis of the Myanmar slaked lime, portlandite ($Ca(OH)_2$) and brucite ($Mg(OH)_2$) were detected as main constituent minerals, and a carbonate rock mainly composed of dolomite ($CaMg(CO_3)_2$) minerals may be used as a raw material to make slaked lime. The field-emission scanning electron microscope analysis showed that the Myanmar slaked lime was composed of irregularly shaped crystals of $0.5{\mu}m$ or larger and a small amount of $0.1{\mu}m$ of plate - like crystals. The size and uniformity of crystals in Myanmar lime is different from that of Korea slaked lime. This may be attributed to the effect of the mineral composition and the lime hydration method of Myanmar, which produces slurry by immersing the burnt lime in excess water for a long period of time. The compressive strength of the lime plaster in Myanmar resulted in a mean value of $1.13N/mm^2$ for the specimens cured for 28 days. The strength of the specimens with Bale juice was $1.03N/mm^2$, respectively. The lime is an air setting material that exhibits strength through long carbonation process. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate physical properties according to curing period through long-term curing over 28 days in the future.

본 연구는 미얀마 바간(Bagan)지역 전통 건축물의 벽체 보수에 사용되는 소석회에 대한 광물학적 특성을 분석하고 바간 지역 문화재 수리 현장과 동일한 방법으로 제조한 석회 플라스터의 물리적 특성을 파악하였다. 미얀마 소석회의 X-선 회절 분석과 열분석 결과 포틀랜다이트($Ca(OH)_2$)와 수활석($Mg(OH)_2$)이 주구성광물로 검출되었으며, 이를 통해 석회의 원석으로 백운석($CaMg(CO_3)_2$) 광물의 함량이 높은 탄산염 암석이 사용됐을 것으로 추정된다. 주사전자현미경 분석 결과 미얀마 소석회는 $0.5{\mu}m$ 이상의 불규칙한 형상을 가진 결정들과 소량의 $0.1{\mu}m$ 크기의 판상형 결정들이 응집되어 있고 전체적으로 매끄러운 조직 형태를 관찰할 수 있었는데, 국내에서 건식 소화시킨 소석회와 비교했을 때 결정의 크기나 균일도가 다른 것은 소석회 간 구성광물의 차이와 미얀마 특유의 전통 습식 소화방법에 의한 영향으로 판단된다. 28일 동안 양생한 미얀마 석회 플라스터의 압축강도 값은 평균 $1.13N/mm^2$이며, bale (Aegle marmelos) 열매의 물 추출액을 첨가한 플라스터 시편의 압축강도 값은 평균 $1.03N/mm^2$로 측정되었다. 석회는 장기간 탄산화 과정을 거쳐 강도가 발현되는 기경성 재료이므로 향후 28일 이상 장기 양생을 통해 양생기간별 물리적 특성의 변화 양상을 파악할 필요가 있다.
