Bunhwangsa Stone Brick Pagoda, constructed in 634, is Korea's oldest stone pagoda. As a prototype of the Silla Stone Pagoda, the pagoda was constructed using flagstones. Since it was constructed with flagstones, it has been known to be a pagoda that replicates the brick pagoda until now. The latest research suggests that it copies the India Stupa or the Stacked Stone Pagoda more than the Brick Pagoda. However, the Bunhwangsa stone brick pagoda has a significant difference in terms of construction technique and shape compared to Brick Pagodas, India Stupas, and Stacked Stone Pagodas. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the stone building technique used in Silla. Through this study, I would like to clarify that the Bunhwangsa stone brick pagoda is a stone pagoda that creatively reflects the existing Silla stone building techniques such as stone fortresses and stone chamber tombs.

The host rocks of brick-shaped stone pagoda in the Bunhwangsa temple are lots of kinds andesitic rocks, which has gone through mechanical and chemical weathering. As the overall observation, the pagoda is serious damages by air pollutants, and the northeast parts show the much advanced state of turning white, while the southeast parts are heavily cracked in the materials. The rocks of brick-shaped pagoda body are in a relatively stable condition of weathering and damage except for the abrasion and cracks of the corners. The rocks of the pagoda roof suffer from more symptoms including multiple peel-offs, exfoliation, cracks forming round lines, and falling off stone pieces. The pagoda roof rocks are dominated by the thriving leafy lichens and mosses, especially, there are higher plants (selaginella involvens, dandelions) taking root actively between the brick stones and content mortar. There are even light gray precipitates like stalactites between the rocks of the body, In particular, the 1st and 2nd floor in the east side and the body parts in the north side are the most serious. Their major minerals are calcite, gypsum and clay minerals. The rocks of the stylobate and the tabernacle in all the four directions are composed mainly of granitic rocks. The materials consisting of the tabernacles show the severe splits and distortion, which causes the structural instability. The stylobate rocks are heavily contaminated by some weeds with the often marks of inorganic contamination by secondary hydroxides. The central part of the east stylobate has been sinking, while that of the 1st floor west stylobate is protruded nesting a line of cracks. Accordingly, the inside of the tabernacle is always humid with the constant introduction of rainwater. The stone lion standing in the southeast and northeast side are alkali granite, while that in the southwest and northwest lithic tuff. Each of the stone lion also coated with various colored lichens, mosses, algae, bacteria and bryophyte. The external materials of the pagoda have deteriorated the functions of the rocks and made the loss, falling off, and biological contamination even worse due to the surface weathering. Thus it's urgent to come up with scientific restoration and conservation measures through clinical tests.

경주 분황사석탑은 암석을 벽돌 모양으로 다듬어 쌓아올린 모전석탑으로서, 모전석을 이루는 암석은 주로 안산암질암이다. 전석은 부분적으로 모서리 마모와 균열이 발생되어 있으며 다중박리와 박락, 양파껍질과 같은 분해, 구열상 균열 및 암편상 탈락이 진행 중이다. 화강암질암으로 구성된 기단부와 동서남북 방향의 감실 및 인왕상은 지의류와 이끼류에 의한 피복오염이 심하며 부분적으로 암흑색 및 황갈색 이차 수화물에 의한 무기오염물도 관찰된다. 또한 강수의 침입에 의한 상대적 수분 유지시간이 긴 감실이나 북쪽 탑신 부분은 매우 습한 상태이다. 이런 부분에서는 방해석, 석고, 점토광물 등과 같은 수화성 이차광물과 염화물의 결정화에 의해 박리와 박락이 촉진되고 있다. 삼층 옥개석의 경우 탑의 전반적인 불균형으로 인해 부재의 균열 및 이탈이 발생되어 있어 전석의 교체와 보강이 필요하다. 동남쪽 사자상과 동북쪽 사자상은 알칼리 화강암이며 . 서남쪽 및 서북쪽 사자상은 암편질 응회암이다. 이 석탑의 총표면부재수는 9,708개이며 균열된 부재는 11.0%, 암편 탈락부재는 6.7%이며 이차적 오염물질이 피복된 부재는 전체의 7.0%에 달한다. 이 석탑은 환경변화와 물리적, 화학적 및 생물학적 요인의 표면풍화에 의해 석재 자체의 기능이 저하되어 있으므로 장기적인 모니터링과 함께 종합적인 보존방안을 연구해야할 것이다.
