Abstract

This study investigated the material properties of mortars used in the construction materials of historical buildings during the Joseon Dynasty. Their mineral composition, chemical composition and physical properties were analyzed using polarizing microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), thermo gravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP). Calcite was determined to be the main constituent mineral with soil minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica, indicating the mortars were manufactured using hydrated lime mixed with soil minerals. There were no differences in constituent minerals among the excavation sites or uses, but the chemical compositions could be classified into groups that appeared similar to each other. The samples showed various pore size distributions with in a range, which indicates that the minerals had various particle sizes. In addition, rice straws were identified, which is thought to reinforce the mortars against shrinkage or cracking.
