| China ancient architecture is Chinese history testimony and the culture heritage all over the world. It is the symbol of people wisdom. And it has a treasure art value. Timber structure architecture has a large proportion on it. It is a representation of Orient architecture.The Wooden Pagoda locals at northwest corner of Yingxian in Shanxi Province.It was built in Liao Ning-qing-year, which is the most remote and ambitious timber in our country and even in the global, being a masterpiece in the building history of the world. It with the Franch Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Piza in Italy is called the three odd towers in the earth. It has the very high technology on surface, timber and structure. But it had a severe structural deformation with much seismic and warfare disaster past almost one thousand years period. This has resulted in the safety of the whole tower. So Reinforcement and remedy to timber structure is no time to delay.The paper simulated the inner corner Dougong on the third floor using a large-scale finite element numerical simulation software ABAQUS on the base of the scene investigation and surveying to YingXian Wooden Tower. It presents the stress state on it under vertical loads, and the stress is how to deliver in it. Its calculated result is the approximate homology with the actual state, and it can provide the numerical calculated data and the theory proof for its reinforcement and remedy for the future. |
