Analysis on the Western-Style Structural System of Zizhulin Church

Article Preview

Abstract:

Built in Chinese specific historical period, most western-style historical buildings have the western pattern and Chinese structural type. In many years of existence, they mostly face a grave situation because of the damages and risks in structural safety. To better protect them, an in-depth understanding is required. Taking Zizhulin Church in Tianjin as the case, it adopted the brick-timber structure, with local technologies and concepts applied in this church to achieve the western pattern. The well-planned layout and facade, the materials, as well as the constructional details are analysed, which are favorable for the vibration resistance. These analyses can provide reference for protection and repair of other similar western-style historical buildings.
