Material Properties Test of Wooden Architecture and its Mechanical Properties

Abstract:

Ancient Chinese architecture is the most representative in Chinese ancient civilization. Now preserved ancient ruins are extremely valuable in historical and cultural value, artistic value and scientific value, so the research on the characteristics of ancient building structures in China and its seismic performance have important realistic significance. On the basis of the existing Chinese ancient wooden buildings, the paper discusses the structure performance of Chinese Ancient Timbering Buildings. According to the existing theoretical knowledge, the paper elaborates the reasons for using the wood of Chinese ancient architecture and analyses the basic characteristics of the ancient wood as building materials. We take the experiment of wooden mechanical property test to study the characteristics of material better, and emphasis narrates the whole process of wood bending strength test, then get the results of wood mechanical characteristics.
