Abstract

This study looked at designing, building and operating temporary camp, the first structures that South Korea built in the Antarctica. While there may be differences in accordance with the topography, ground surfaces in the Antarctica are covered broken stones, glaciers and snow. Hence, such topographical characteristics should be taken into account when conducting any construction work. To ensure successful assembly construction in the Antarctica using modules, prior trial assembly work should be done in Korea to identify any possible trouble in the actual construction process. Assuming that the workers will have to spend at least one winter in the temporary camp, the work will be more severely affected by adverse weather conditions and snow drift, resulting in the need to clear snow. This can be by designing roofs with curved surfaces. Also, quantitative effects will need to be verified through simulation and actual measurement. It will also be necessary to assess the camp's thermal environment and examine its air-conditioning methods. To identify the temporary camp's thermal system, the temperatures and humidities were measured, and the heating system was designed not to offer automatic control or desired value selection functions.
