Yiroukegang thought, is the traditional wisdom of the Chinese nation. The world-renowned Tai Chi Chuan

Such thinking is the direct result of

The Chinese tradition of building wooden structures seismic shock method

Can be called "architectural version of Tai Chi Chuan"

And masonry construction of the West "just has just grams of" different from the traditional Chinese wooden structure built to resist the impact of the earthquake, using the "Yiroukegang" thinking through all sorts of clever, its objective is to minimize the cost of Will be a powerful natural bridge to minimize damage. Many of China's ancient architecture were successfully received by the earthquake test, such as Tianjin, North Guanyinge Dule Si, Yingxian Wooden Tower building, and so on, thousands of years has gone through many earthquakes are still proudly stands. Contemporary architectural design to withstand an earthquake of 9 degrees as the goal, and our traditional wooden building has been able to meet this requirement, but its price is far less than the West's "just" can not but be impressed by the width and "soft" power.

Flexible framework: the wall was not housing collapse

Since the beginning of the civilization of the Chinese nation not only on the wisdom of the choice of organic materials such as wood as the main structural material, and the development of the world's oldest, longest and highest technical maturity structure of the system - flexible framework for the system. China's wood technology, if only in Yuyao, Zhejiang Hemudu ruins the moment, at least so far nearly 7,000-year history. As a comparison, the West has been used for thousands of years in the system of load-bearing walls, until the industrial revolution, modern science and technology development, realized that the superiority of the frame, was the beginning of large-scale popular, but also worth pondering is that this framework System is still "just has just grams." China's traditional wooden structure, with all the advantages of the frame structure, such as the "wall of housing do not fall down" effect, but its flexible connectivity, and it has made a considerable degree of flexibility and a degree of self-recovery capability. The earthquake in Wenchuan, many of the cultural construction of the wall were damaged to varying degrees, but the main structure has not collapsed, this is the flexible framework of anti-seismic capability.

Floating raft foundation as a whole, Dougong, mortise Mao: the key to the fight against earthquake

Few of China's ancient architectural complex in the construction plane, the main use of a 2:1 aspect ratio is less than the rectangle. Plane patterns and rules in favor of anti-seismic structure. Traditional construction is often in the middle of a (inter-care) the most, on both sides of the times, and so on in order to reduce inter-Blastophagus wide, so the design is very conducive to the earthquake resistance of torque.

Chinese ancient architecture in general by the platform, Liang Jia, the roof consists of high-grade construction on the roof and between the beams and a layer Dougong. China's ancient architecture with modern platform language to describe the structure, known as the "floating raft foundation as a whole," is like building a ship carrying floating in the form of an earthquake, "stormy sea", can effectively prevent the construction of the foundation was cut Damage to reduce the seismic impact on the upper part of the building. Chinese traditional architecture Liangjia generally carried beam structure, in the framework of the vertical direction to form a great little structure on the shape of Practice has proved that this structure has a better way of seismic behavior. Large elegant roof of the ancient Chinese traditional architecture is the most prominent feature of the image, but also to improve the building's earthquake resistance ability has made a considerable contribution. The formation of large roof (especially Dianding veranda, Xie Shanding, etc.) need a large number of complex structures and components, has greatly increased the roof and the whole framework of a whole; huge weight of the roof from its on-line in the column, also raised the framework of the stability of the Sex.

Dougong of ancient Chinese architecture is aseismic another important fighters in the earthquake shock absorber of the car as it plays the same as dissipation deformation. Historically, many with Dougong construction can withstand strong earthquakes, such as Hua Yansi of Datong in Shanxi Province, in the absence of Dougong low-level construction subsidiary has been destroyed, with the main hall Dougong able to survive, Dougong a full description of the earthquake. Dougong but can play a "shock absorber", and that was the level of the various components of Dougong connect to a group of highly integrated, "just set," according to "those who can afford the more you work," the principle of the earthquake Power transmission to the pillars of the anti-seismic capability, has greatly enhanced the security of the entire structure.

In addition to these more significant way, the ancient Chinese traditional architecture also used in a number of other technical measures is the key to anti-seismic buildings. For example, the use of mortise Mao: Mao tenon is extremely sophisticated inventions of our ancestors as early as 7000 before they started, which do not have to nail the connection components, making Chinese traditional wooden structure into a contemporary architectural bent over, the framework Flexible or rigid frame of the special structure of the body, not only to bear a greater load, and have allowed a certain degree of deformation in the earthquake through the deformation under load to absorb some of the seismic energy structure to reduce the earthquake response. For example, another pillar of Health, the side of the foot, and other techniques to reduce the building's center of gravity, and the overall structure of the center of gravity tilted inward, to enhance the stability of the structure; capitals, columns and feet were exhausted amount to bundle wrapped in cloth and other structural components to connect So that the column-plane formation of a closed system architecture with modern terminology, it is the formation of the upper and lower beam, effectively put an end to the stigma, the foot of the column moved to strengthen the building of an overall framework. Liang Jia system adopted by the amount of late by the amount of stigma Fang, Shu-chu, climb, ride led by Leung, purlin, Chuan and many other components strengthened, enhanced structural integrity; Zhuchu post with a combination of ways to Significantly reduce the column at the end of Zhu Chu and the friction between the top surface, which effectively have a role in isolation; tall in the pavilion, such as Dule Si Guanyinge, such as the Wooden Pagoda in Yingxian County, all in dark layer there are ramps Up, a great improvement to the framework of the level of shock resistance to the role again; Yanzhu between the outer wall of thick set, modern architecture has played in the "wall" of the role of these, The list goes on, to the layout of the building group Deal with components as small as the size of the design section, every show of ancient craftsmen in the seismic design of the knowledge and ingenuity.

Chinese ancient architecture of the outstanding representatives of the anti-seismic capability
