The heating system of korea apartment house is called Ondol. The surface finishing mortar of this floor system typically used the cement based mortar, where the surface finishing mortar easily appears the crack. To order to crack control, the cement that added expansive additive used to reducing dry-shrinkage. For the surface finishing mortar, the types of shrinkage is known as plastic shrinkage, dry-shrinkage and autogenous This experimental study is to investigate the difference on dry-shrinkage of the cement that added expansive additives and OPC. The test method is varied the ration of water/cement (W/C) and the ratio of sand/cement(S/C). For OPC, The increase of the ratio of S/C is reduced dry-shirnkage but for the cement that added expansive additives, the increase of the ratio of S/C is augmented dry-shrinkage For OPC, The increase of the ratio of W/C is augmented dry-shrinkage but for the cement that added expensive, the increased of the ratio of W/C is reduced dry-shrinkage.

In this study, strengthening methods of floor surface finishing mortar are investigated to prevent the cracks using crack inhibitor agents, water reducer agent and resin. As a results, The number of crack and compressive strength of the specimen containing water reducer agent or resin had more effective than other specimens containing inhibitor agents at 7 days. And the highest compressive strength specimen showed the relatively no crack, but the lowest compressive strength specimen showed a lot of crack. Therefore the relationship between the crack growth and the compressive strength had proportional connection. A base on the mock-up test, long-term monitoring of the on-site applied to mixing design type3 showed the few cracks.

This research aimed to refine the concrete floor finishing for enhancing its performance compared to the traditional way. The new method involved the removing the deteriorated mortar layer and reinforcing the surface to augment the durability and bond strength of the floor surface. This study performed the experience to evaluate the bond strength, drop depth, rebound hammer hardness, and the surface hardness of the surface by adopting traditional and refined method. The results showed the proposed method enhanced the performance on all the metrics. Based on the experiment, the bond strength increased about 2.79 times before installing the finishing material, and the strength also improved about 1.67 times and 1.44 times at the painted finishing and non-painted finishing, respectively. In addition, the drop depth decreased about 4.42 times when adopting the proposed method, which shows the enhanced resistance to declamination compared with applying the traditional way. Lastly, the surface hardness measured by scratch thickness significantly improved about 505% in this experiment. The finding of this study indicates that the proposed method can substantially enhance in bond strendth and durability of floor finishing, reduce the defects of the concrete-based floor, and extend the life of the products.

The objective of this study is to investigate the thermal conductivity of cement mortar for apartment housing floor using expansive admixture, copper fiber, cower lathe, hollowed aluminum plate. According to test results, temperature at point (a) located above heating pipe does not show significant variation with age, and temperature at (b), which is located at the finishing surface above heating pipe, and temperature at (c), which is located at center surface between heating pipe has remarkable change. Temperature distribution sat (b) are in order for, structure containing copper fiber>plain structure>structure containing hollowed aluminum plate>structure containing expansive admixture. Temperature distribution, shows high tendency in order for, structure containing copper fiber>structure containing copper lathe>structure containing hollowed aluminum plate>plain structure>structure containing expansive admixture. (a) estimation of temperature distribution is determined with the variation of temperature between (b) point and (c) point during 60 minutes heating.

Since the early 1980s, the building is dramatically higher increases. Therefore, the shortage of parking spaces as a social problem has been pointed out. The parking lot utilization of underground space is increasing by like this problem solving countermeasure. However, Most of the organic material is used for construction in the parking lot on the floor. The existing parking zone flooring occupancy surface finishing is harmful gases and environmental hormones cause of the worker. The study on the safety of the worker consider using environment-friendly?high-liquidity ceramic resin mortar materials to evaluate the characteristics and physical properties.

Unlike other countries, Korea uses various kinds of wall-paper as finishing material. Conventional wall-paper consists of paper and vinyl, and petrochemical ink is used for the decoration of the surface. Adhesive is used to paste the wall with the wall-paper, which emit substantial amounts of VOCs and formaldehyde. In this study, VOCs characteristics emitted from specimens made of concrete, mortar, gypsum board and wall-paper were investigated using small chamber method. Moreover, concentration and emission factor of BTEX(Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, m,p,o-Xylene) and TVOC were investigated, and concentration and emission factor decay were estimated. As a result of the prediction, both time-dependent concentration decay and cumulative concentration can be converted into the logarithmic scale. Furthermore, prediction equations were developed from the experimental results under accurately controlled experimental conditions. Therefore, there may be difference if the estimated equations are directly applied to real buildings. Further research should be done on the generalization of the developed prediction equations.
