Resisting capacity of Korean traditional wooden structural systems subjected to static loading
Jong-Kook Hwang, Samuel Kwak and Ji-Hyun Kwak

 
Abstract
    This paper investigates the structural behavior of Korean traditional wooden structures on the basis of the structural analysis using the commercialized program, SAP 2000. All the structural systems
were analyzed, and the rotational stiffness at each joint was inferred from the experimental result for a half scale model of Bongjeong-sa (a temple in South Korea). In addition, the artificial control of analysis parameters was prevented because the structural analysis was focused on the realization of the most exact structural behavior of real structures. The analysis was carried out for the horizontal and vertical static loads, and all the secondary members were excluded in the structural analysis. The obtained results show that the resisting capacity of the primary structural system is greater than that of the expanding structural
system.
 
Key Words
    traditional wooden structure; numerical modeling; structural analysis; lateral resisting capacity; moment distribution.
