Seismic mechanism analysis of a traditional Chinese timber structure based on quasi-static tests

Abstract: In this paper, a single-layer 1:2-scaled specimen of a timber building was fabricated according to the construction method of the Chinese Song Dynasty, and six quasi-static tests were conducted under three levels of vertical loads to investigate the associated seismic mechanism. The results in this study indicate that the vertical uplift of the timber structure caused by rocking under lateral loading is nonnegligible. During the quasi-static tests, a portion of the energy input to the timber structure, namely,… Show more

“…The temple has withstood a number of strong earthquakes and other disasters, showing superior seismic performance. To investigate the seismic mechanism of timber structure, Meng et al 3 conducted the quasi‐static tests about a timber frame fabricated according to the construction method of the Chinese Song Dynasty, finding that this timber structure can resist earthquake actions through the main mechanism of storing and releasing energy caused by rocking behavior.…”

“…On the other hand, rocking foundation 13,14 might be a promising approach alleviating the seismic demands of this type of bridges with tall piers, since this construction strategy could effectively reduce the inertial force caused by pier columns. Hung, et al 15 conducted both pseudo‐dynamic and cyclic loading tests on three circle columns with rocking foundations.…”
