Study on Parameters of Quake-Proof for Shen-Wu Gate in the Forbidden City in China


Abstract eng:
Chinese ancient buildings are mainly made of wood.For thousands of years they have experienced sorts of earthquakes but remain intact.Their characters of quake-proof are related closely to their constitution.In order to study influences of constitutions such as Tou-Kung,Tenon-Mortise joints,Cejiao ,base conditions and so on , the Shen-Wu Gate in the Forbidden City is taken as an example.Its finite element model is built ,Elcentro waves in 3 directions are imposed on the model for dynamical analysis.Results show that the constitutions above are all helpful for seismic resistance.The aseismic characters of Shen-Wu Gate are worth studying for modern people.
