Structural Analysis of Heritage Timber Structure
Heritage buildings in Kerala is known for its architectural and aesthetic uniqueness, whose main materials of construction were sustainable goods like wood, stone, sand, etc.…. This paper is concerned with the structural analysis of timber joineries of Aranmula Parthasarathy Temple, which is one among the Divya Desams situated on the banks of river Pampa. It was constructed during 16A.D and is made of teak wood as well as granite which is elevated from the normal ground level approximately by 40ft. The noticeable feature about the structure is that even though the banks of the temple were affected by natural calamities (i.e., flood in 2018 and also the frequent wind loads as it is located on river banks), the structure still stays strong without any damage. It is believed that this can be due to the material characteristics of the structure as well as the joints and connections provided within the structure. In this paper, we will go through the finite element analysis of the different types of timber joints as well as the material tests of timber. The main focus of this work will be to incorporate these joints in the modern construction practices in order to make the structure more stable.
