The research efforts to modernize Hanok (Korean traditional housing) have been performed to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness through application of modern building methods and materials, and to disseminate it in various forms of sizes and facilities. In this study, in order to identify the variations of modernized Hanok, data from seven test-bed projects are analyzed based on the building work-section, element, method, and material. The data were standardized and managed through the modernized Hanok classification system (Hanclass) to facilitate systematic comparisons of the test-bed projects by the variation of building method and it's cost impact. Identified factors of the variation in terms of building methods were then itemized and quantified in terms of building cost. Findings of this study indicate that the timber structure is the most critical area for future variation for improving the quality and cost-effectiveness. The results of this study will be also used to systemize the Hanok database for further studies.

In this research, moisture contents and roof deflection of two test-bed Korean traditional timber houses, Hanoks, were monitored. The monitored houses are consisted of two types of Hanoks. One is a one-story traditional Hanok built by traditional construction method, and the other is a two-storied new-styled Hanok built by modernized construction method. The monitoring has been carried out for about thirty months. The moisture contents and roof deflections were analyzed and compared. The moisture contents of the traditional Hanok built by raw wood were somewhat higher than that of the new-styled Hanok built by glued structural wood. The mean vertical deflection of angle rafters of traditional Hanok is about twice more than that of the new-styled Hanok.

This paper aims to propose a method for the systematic management of construction information using ontology. In particular, it was intended to propose a method to systematically manage the construction method information required by designers and constructors. The information used in this paper is a case of test-bed construction resulting from 10 years of modernized Hanok technology development research. The new construction methods of modernized Hanok were organized using the ontology editor, Protege. To this end, the concept of ontology and the process of constructing ontology have been summarized through a review of existing research first. A conceptual diagram for constructing a domain ontology of the modernized Hanok construction methods was then proposed, and the effectiveness of the proposed domain ontology was verified using the SPARQL Query function of Protege. Finally, the defined classes and construction method metadata were published on the web using ontology web language (OWL).
