Finite Element Analysis of Typical Beam-Column Joints in Yingxian Wood Pagoda

Article Preview

Abstract:

Yingxian Wood Pagoda is the highest standing ancient wood structure in China,with four shorter but stiffer storeys hidden between the five apparent storeys. The beam-colunm joints are highly varied. In this study,a model of typical beam-column joints of the pagoda was simulated in Abaqus. The material used in models was similar to the ones of the pagoda.Non-destructive cyclic loading test of the models under different vertical load were conducted.The hysteretic curves underdifferent vertical load were drawn from the test.And the skeleton curves were obtained by linking all peak moment points of each hysteretic loop. The energy –dissipation performance and bending stiffness of models were derived and discussed.
