In this study, an antibiosis of antimicrobial mortar developed to reduce biochemical corrosion of sewage facilities concrete was evaluated. First, artificial acceleration test reflecting similarly biochemical corrosion of mortar was developed. Antimicrobial mortar specimen were experimented in this test and antibiosis of it was evaluated by SEM and EDX. As a results of the study, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria on the plain specimen were survived for 20 weeks in this test. But sulfur-oxidizing bacteria on antimicrobial specimen were survived less than the plain, and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were externally distorted and destroyed. So the antibiosis of an antimicrobial mortar was verified by it.

According to the increases the standard of living of the people, requirements for building environments are also being diversified. The fungus that occurred the building is not good the health of occupants as well as undermine the value of the building. However, chemical antimicrobial agent contain ingredients harmful to human body and it has an impact on indoor air quality. Therefore, the use of natural antimicrobial material is strongly required. In this study, the fungal reproductive inhibit capacity was evaluated by using mortars with natural antimicrobial material.

Environment-friendly materials are increasingly used as building construction materials nowadays, and the market share of those is growing. Accordingly, the research and developments in terms of environmental value are progressing steadily now. The main characteristics of environmental products are far-infrared radiation, negative-ion emission, electromagnetic wave shielding, and antimicrobial property. These products are often used in mortar and as spray on the finishing material. Nevertheless, there are hardly any research on the functional properties of concrete, the main material in construction field. Thus, we evaluated such basic properties of concrete as slump, compressive strength and air content while using such functional materials as sericite, wood-pattern sandstone, carbon black and nano-metric silver solution to focus on their functional properties like far-infrared radiation, negative ion emission, electro magnetic wave shielding, and antimicrobial activity in this research. The results indicated that the most useful material in the functional materials was carbon black. Sericite and nano-metric silver solution had a little effect on the functional property. Moreover, although wood-pattern sandstone had very high functional property, it exhibited too low compressive strength to be applied, to concrete as a factory product. Antimicrobial property of nano-metric silver solution in the concrete was not clear demonstrated, but if these specimens were to be aged in $CO_2$ gas for a long time, it might be apparent.

현대의 사회는 화재 등과 같은 많은 위험요소를 포함하고 있으며 이중 곰팡이와 같은 미생물에 의해 인체에 미치는 피해 또한 무시할 수 없다. 곰팡이는 우리의 주변에서 흔히 관찰 할 수 있는데 건물 실내의 벽면에서 주로 확인 할 수 있으며 곰팡이 균의 독소를 조사하여 보면 크게 세 가지로 분류 할 수 있다. 곰팡이 독소는 곰팡이 속들에 의해 생성되는 것으로서 아플라 톡신이 대표적인 예이며, 그 외에도 오크라톡신, 파튤린 등이 있고 곰팡이 독소는 곰팡이가 생산하는 2차 대사산물로 발암 물질을 포함하고 있어 인체에 큰 위험 요소라 할 수 있는데 본 연구에서는 건축물의 벽면에 발생하는 곰팡이 균을 편백수(피톤치드)를 활용한 방재 기술을 연구하고자 한다.
