This paper reports the test results of the floating floor system used to reduce the floor noise of apartment buildings. Recently, many soft resilient materials placing between the reinforced concrete slab and finishing mortar are used. The resilient material should not only reduce the floor impact sound vibration from the floor but also support the load on the floor. Thus, even if soft resilient materials satisfy the maximum limitation of light-weight impact sound and heavy-weight impact sound, these materials may not support the load on the floor. The experimental program involved conducting sixteen sound insulation floating floor specimens. Three main parameters were considered in the experimental investigation: resilient materials, loading location, and layers of floor. Experimental results indicated that the stiffness of resilient material significantly influenced on the structural behavior of floating floor system. In addition, the deflection of the floating concrete floor loaded at the side or coner of the specimen was greater than that of the floor loaded at the center of the specimen. However, the aerated concrete did not effect on the cracking strength of floating floor system.

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.

The development of building must be accompanied with construction technology and performance of materials. In particular, wet processes have a high level of dependence on manpower and a low level of diversification of materials used. This study aimed to determine the applicability of various materials for wet process, mechanized construction and eco-friendly building materials through a comparison with dry premixed mortar. As a result, it was found that resin plaster and gypsum plaster's strength is lower than that of dry cement mortar, but their mechanization application, construction simplification, smoothness and bond strength are higher than that of dry cement mortar. And estimate that is valid as workability, bonding strength, eco-friendly building material in occasion of gypsum plaster.

The purpose of this study is to develop a floor mortar construction technique which has high strength and inherent mechanical properties and does not cause cracks due to shrinkage after construction. It has been demonstrated that compressive strength, bending strength, flow with floor mortar, and crack reduction performance. As a result, it was confirmed that the developed floor mortar had the same or better performance comparing with the existing foreign products. The results of this experiment can be used as a validation material for high performance and high flowable mortar construction technology with excellent material performance, economical efficiency and construction ability by securing the required performance as floor mortar and selecting the optimal formulation.
