The purpose of this study is to ascertain strengths and hardening rate of epoxy-modified mortar with wood-tar contents. The polymer-modified mortars (PMMs) using epoxy resin with wood-tar are prepared with various polymer-binder ratios of 1, 3, 5% and wood-tar contents of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%. The PMMs using epoxy resin are tested for compressive, flexural and tensile strengths and hardening rate of epoxy resin. As a result, the strengths and hardening rate under polymer-binder ratio 1% and wood-tar content of 5% are more excellent than those of other specimens.

The Jurassic granites, commercially called Yangu stone in the Pocheon-Euijeongbu area, have generally compact and coarse-grained textures, which could be classified into two types; grey granite(Gg) and light pink granite(Gp). Specific gravity, absorption ratio and prosity of Gg and Gp in physical property are 2.64 and 2.61, 0.32 % and 0.44 %, 0.86% and 1.13 %, respectively. These higher values of two latters of Gp than those of Gg are due to the more abundant microcracks in Gp. Compressive strength og Gg than those of Gg are due to more abundant microcracks in Gp. Compressive strength og Gg and Gp are 1,726 kg/cm2 and 1,717 kg/cm, respectively and bestrength has a positive proportion with Qz+Af+Pl(quartz+alkali feldspar+plagioclase) modes without trending with Bt+Ac(biotite+accessories). Tensile strength has the positive proportions with Qz+Af+Pl and Bt+Ac. While Bt+Ac has a negative trend with abrasive hardness, Qz+A+Pl shows a positive one. These may suggest Qz+Af+Pl mainly affects on strenghts potentional dimension stone than Gp.
