We intends to understand the rammed earth method and suggest the possibilities of adoption on high-rise rammed earth structures through the case study on the method. The rammed earth construction has been regarded as one of the solutions in the modern environmental-friendly construction field, thus according to such trend, this study tries to find out the limitations of the rammed earth structures to be multistory and grope for solutions in the attached wall construction method. The procedures of this research is to figure out the limitations of rammed earth structures through theoretical consideration on those structures and analyze the actual cases of them, and to assure the possibilities on the development of the rammed earth method that can make the structures multistory earthen structures in the rammed earth method and induce immediate issues for it.

This research examines the characteristics of the "rammed earth form" based on the criteria for the selection of forms. For this purpose, the paper first reviews the characteristics and orientation of the earth-construction and looks into the outline, the prerequisite, the current status and the tendency of the rammed earth form system through previous studies. Consequently, we aims to contribute to the criteria for the selection of rammed earth forms in the future through a comparative analysis of the construction cost, quality, safety and easiness of works between the veneer board form and the euroform, which are most widely used at earth housing project in the domestic country. The results reveals that the euroform is better than the veneer board with 21% of total cost in the cost analysis. But this better than that in the side of easiness of construction. In both cases, the buckling of wall panel form and the labor-oriented characteristics of the methods are the future research issues in the rammed earth form system.

There has recently been a great deal of research into the appropriate building materials for eco-friendly construction. In the field of earth architecture, there have been walls made of pure earth or with rammed earth including a small amount of cement. The purpose of the study is to investigate the possibility increasing compressive strength through a more eco-friendly composition by using Hwangtoh binder rather than cement to increase the strength performance of rammed earth. It was found that the more the ratio of binder was increased, the more the strength was increased, but enhancement did not increase noticeably in the lower part that did not compact completely, and proper height to pour earth is 200 mm. When stone dust was added, compressive strength was lower than when adding fine aggregate and coarse aggregate, but a finer surface texture was provided.

Limited resources for construction material in the Mae-Hae region, a remote Northern Thailand, acted as an impetus to introduce a new way for constructing their dwellings. The new construction material brought new construction methodology, namely, using earth and bamboo which are indigenous materials, readily available for them to use. Using indigenous material at Mae-Hae region was most ecological and logical method for establishing sustainable dwellings both in terms of monetary and ecological reasons. Prior to the construction at Mae-Hae, Thailand, series of experimental tests on the strength of rammed earth were performed off site at our university and also brought soil samples from the actual job site at Mae-Hae for detailed soil analysis. Through the tests, integrity of the earth and characteristics of the soil were established to build a small senior citizen center as an example. This appropriate technology is expected to contribute to the sustainable construction at Mae-Hae.

The restoration of foundations supporting the immense load of the stone pagoda at Mireuksa Temple Site prioritizes securing its structural stability. But so far, rammed earth construction is still not easy to determine the structural stability. This paper aims to emphasize that a scientific experimental study was conducted on a rammed earth construction, to identify its methodology and obtain objective data about structural stability of the foundation work. An experimental study fabricated specimens from the soil that had been removed during the excavation survey, determined the allowable bearing capacity through plate load tests, and compared the results with the predicted stress after reassembly of the stone pagoda to estimate the structural stability. Then, the repair method was selected based on the experimental study result. The evaluation method of the restoration of foundations consisted of an examination of the allowable bearing capacity and settlement. The allowable bearing of the reinforced foundation was more than twice the contact pressure under the stacked stones of the pagoda. The possibility of settlement of the rammed earth foundation soil layer during the pagoda assembly is expected to be very low because the settlement amount of the reformed soil layer is less than half of the settlement of the stabilized existing soil layer.

In this study, we evaluated the early strength of red clay soil with the polymer aqueous solution at rammed earth construction. In order to satisfy the demolding strength of the formwork be due to the rammed of red clay soil, the polymer aqueous solution was added to evaluate the compressive strength at the early age according to the consolidation level. As a result, a high compressive strength was exhibited with the formulation to which the polymer aqueous solution was added.

The lateral pressure that functions on the form of the rammed earth method occupies an important part in the construction of the form. The following research constructed testing forms of $800mm{\times}1200mm$, that have the wall thickness of 200mm, 300mm, 400mm and 500mm to measure the lateral pressures according to the wall thicknesses. Research showed that compared to the concrete construction lateral pressures, the form results measured 2.3-8.9 times higher, and rather than thickness of the form, the distance between the rammer and mold and assuring time had direct relation to the lateral pressure of the form.

Results from tests for what mixing rate of soil and sand is proper for the rammed earth and for how much additives are optimum are as under. 1) In the test to evaluate what mixing rate of soil and sand is desirable, peptizing property and surface sticking rate are found similar in its degree, but compression strength is found most stable when the ratio of soil and sand mixing shows 30:70 which indicates the best mixing rate of soil and sand. 2) In a test to add hydrated lime, compression strength, peptizing property, and surface sticking rate are found best when the mixing rate of soil and sand shows 23:7. 3) In a test to add sea weeds, the peptizing property goes down at 75% of sea weeds input a little bit more than at 100%, but compression strength shows best at 75% which is thought to be the best rate. 4) In a drop test, more soil powder mixed, the sticking strength gets better and more sands are contained, the sticking strength gets far worse to be scattered in powder type. 5) As concluding all results mentioned in the above item, the most desirable mixing rate of soil, sand, and hydrated lime is found to be 23:7:70 for the rammed earth where compression strength, peptizing property, and surface sticking rate are best.

In this study, the performance evaluation was performed by adding a polymer aqueous solution as a new additive of the red clay binder for use in the rammed earth construction method. The evaluation items were compressive strength and microstructure analysis. As a result of the experiment, the performance of the red clay binder was improved by efficiently bonding the silica particles by the polymerized polymer.

본 연구는 흙건축 시공 시 많이 사용되는 흙다짐 공법의 경우, 흙재료의 배합 숙련도에 따라 달라지는 함수량은 강도와 내구성에 크게 영향을 미치게 되므로 이를 적절히 확인하여 시공하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 적정함수량의 산정문제는 실험실 환경에서는 정확하게 구할 수 있지만 현장에서는 여러 여건상 곤란한 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구는 흙건축에 적용되는 흙다짐 공법을 중심으로 낙하시험과 함수율의 관계를 규명하여 실제현장에서 작업자가 쉽게 적정함수비를 판별할 수 있는 용이성과 시험의 정확성 문제를 개선하고자 한다. 실험의 결과를 통하여 현장에서 활용할 수 있는 배합설계와 시험방법의 명세화, 낙하형상 판별방법의 과정과 결과를 제시하였다.
