Mock-up Process Analysis for Development of Prefabricated Korean Style House (Han-ok)

Abstract

Traditional Architecture, Han-ok. Abstract. This study has been carried out to prepare basic data for modular Korean style house (Han-ok) which is to be continuously developed in the future. In doing so, errors and problems of de signing, manufacturing and transportation in mock-up process of prefabricated Korean style house h ave been analyzed and supplemented for economic feasibility, construct ability and performance imp rovement.The contents of Mock-up process can be summarized as follows. Firstly, errors occurred b y the bending characteristic of lumber has been found regarding securement interval of existing buff er zone. Therefore the zone needs to be extended by 15mm. Secondly, efficiency of assembly is set a ccording to slope and smoothness of the land changes during assembly of unit module on the site. Th erefore, pre-consideration according to the current status of the land is required. Thirdly, packaging m ethod and Box need to be developed for safe transportation irrespective of climate change. About tw o weeks have been required for mock-up process for prefabricated Korean style house. This model r educes construction period that continuous development through modification and supplementation o f problems appear during designing, manufacturing, transportation and assembly processes would m ake it possible to develop a new type of Korean style house for improvement of construction period a nd costs of previous Korean style house.
