The object of this study is to evaluate the adhesive bond strength of exterior cramic wall tiling of various colours. Conclusions are as follows:(1)Preparing the colour of tile surface,the thirry examples of exterior ceramic wall tiling of which two elements are from 3.5 to 8.5 in Value,from 0.1 to 6.2 in Chrome.(2)The difference of temperature depends on the conductivity of exterior ceramic wall tiling of various colours. Themperature changes are directly proportional to Value of colour.(3)The temperature effects upon bond characteristics of tiling were investigated by subfecting to repetitions of heating and cooling (Exposure test). There is only a slight difference in pull-out bond strength by various colours.

This paper deals with the sticky sensation caused by walking derectly barefooted on the floor. In our country that is in the custom of walking directly barefoot on the floor, it feels sometime the sticky sensation in hot and humidy day. The contacting condition between floor and the sole of a barefoot, a evaporation rate of sweet from the sole and humidity between floorcoverings and the sole were measured. The water absorption of floorcoverings and friction coefficient between silicon rubber and floorcoverings were measured as the index of sticky sensation. As a result, the sticky sensation of floorcoverings feel severely in higher temperature and humidity. And the sticky floorcovering has how water absorption and high fricion coefficient. The sticky sensation of floorcoverings can be evalusted by the sticky index calculated with water absorption, friction coefficient of floorcoverings and the evaporation rete of sweet form sole.

This study focused on the influence of heights and directions on the soiling of building external finishing materials. Also this study measured the driving rain which could be the most important factor on the soiling of external materials. The heights were set to 31,55,79,108m and directions were north, south, west, east. The amount of driving rain Rv was expressed by the formula, Rv=0.0527RhVD, Rh=the amount of horizntal rain, V=wind speed, D=component factor of wind direction. The degree of soiling of materials increased with the increasing of Rv, however the long period exposure with the high amount of Rv, the washing effect was occurred for some materials and Y-value become high and closed to the initial value.
