Structural Performance Analysis and Repair Design of Wenxing Lounge Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Lounge bridges in Taishun are a special type of Chinese traditional timber structure. Wenxing Lounge Bridge is a famous bridge of them. The analysis of structural performance and damages for Wenxing Lounge Bridge is the foundation of its repair and reinforcement. The performance degradation of wood material and the action of strong external force and the effect of environmental changing and the factor of unfavorable human-activity have continuously accelerated the damage of the bridge. After visiting local craftsmen, building technics and detailed conformations of the bridge are researched. The FEM analyses on the structure before damaged and after damaged are carried out respectively. Damages reasons of the bridge are then generally analyzed and repair design of the bridge is also presented.
