“…Wang et al (2021) developed a refined finite element model of a four-column timber frame from the Tang dynasty and investigated the effects of the dou-gong layer, the position and magnitude of the column head and footings, and the vertical loads on the hysteretic energy dissipation and lateral force resistance performance of the timber frame by means of proposed static numerical simulation tests. Seismic time-history analyses of this timber frame were used to investigate the seismic performance of the structure and the energy dissipation characteristics of the structural layers (Wang et al 2022). Chen et al (2018) and Meng et al (2019) conducted a proposed static test study on the Song-style single-room four-column timber frame model, revealing its seismic mechanism and the effect of loading history on its hysteretic energy dissipation and lateral stiffness resistance.…”

In ancient wooden structures of the Qing dynasty in China, stacked purlins are important longitudinal elements. In this study, a refined finite element model of a four-column timber frame containing stacked purlins was built. The effects of the fangs, spacer boards, and purlins with dovetail ends on the lateral resistance of the timber frame and the mid-span vertical deflection of the purlins were studied. The longitudinal hysteresis curve of the timber frame made up of stacked purlins was found to be S-shaped, centrally symmetrical, with a pinching effect and full at both ends. The Fangs made the greatest improvement on the lateral stiffness, displacement ductility, and total hysteresis energy consumption of the timber frame by reducing the mid-span vertical deflection of the purlins. The spacer boards contributed less to the lateral resistance of the timber frame than Fangs, but they contributed most to the reduction of the mid-span vertical deflection of the purlins. The dovetail connection at the ends of the purlins had a limited effect on reducing the lateral stiffness and ductility of the timber frame and increasing the mid-span vertical deflection of the purlins, but they significantly increased the total energy consumption of the timber frame and its energy consumption capacity.
