Abstract

The study investigates the load-bearing capacity and stiffness of ancient wooden architectural components under various vertical loads, with a focus on dougong and mortise-tenon joints, which are vital for the stability of ancient wooden structures. Using ANSYS software, finite element models were developed to simulate the effects of various vertical loads on these components. The study confirms that the performance of dougong and mortise-tenon joints improves with increased vertical load, enhancing their stiffness and load-bearing capacity. Particularly, the column head dougong shows a faster rate of load increase. The research provides valuable insights for the preservation and restoration of historical wooden buildings, ensuring their long-term maintenance and cultural heritage continuity.
