DAMAGE TYPES OF TENON-MORTISE JOINTS OF CHINESE ANCIENT BUILDINGS UNDER BENDING LOADS BY SIMULATION
In order to protect Chinese ancient buildings, numerical simulation is used to study damage types of tenon-mortise joints of Chinese ancient wooden buildings under bending loads. Two typical tenonmortise joints are selected for simulation: Straight joint and Yan-wei joint. By ANSYS program finite element models of the two tenon-mortise joints are built. By applying displacement load on side face of beam (10mm upward) step by step status of tensile stress, compression stress, shearing stress and moment-rotation angle relationship of the two joints are studied. Peak values of stresses above at each step of both joints are obtained. Results show that for a Straight joint under bending loads damage types of its tenon include tensile strength failure, compression strength failure and shearing strength failure; However its mortise will not be damaged; For a Yan-wei joint both the tenon and mortise will be damaged for tensile strength failure, compression strength failure and shearing strength failure; On the other hand, rotation stiffness of Yan-wei joint is larger than that of Straight joint, which means the Yan-wei joint is hard to be rotated, and once it is rotated, it is more likely to be damaged.
