摘要

This study provides experimental evidence supporting the preservation of historic wooden buildings by examining the mechanical behavior of Tou-Kung joints under vertical loads, particularly focusing on the influence of the structure. Uniaxial tests were conducted on three Ang configurations of Tou-Kung joints to generate stress-strain curves and identify failure modes. The results show that the Ang structure is key to the mechanical properties of Tou-Kung joints. Under vertical loading, the Xia-Ang structure demonstrated superior initial stiffness, yield strength and peak strength, whereas the Shang-Ang structure exhibited the lowest initial stiffness values. The vertical stiffness initially increases before decreasing due to the gap at the Lu-Tou joint. The tilt angle of the Ang component significantly affects the load transmission path and the load-bearing capacity of the Lu-Tou joint. A comparison of different Ang structures reveals that yield, peak and ultimate strengths decrease while ductility increases as the tilt angle increases.
