A Brief Analysis of Traditional Chinese Woven Timber Arch System
The Chinese woven arch system has captivated the interest of numerous engineers and architects due to its elegant appearance and stable structure as an ancient invention. The ancient wood structure has an unknown load transfer pattern. This article aims to analyze the load transfer condition of the woven timber arch bridge and propose solutions to rebuild the same structure under different conditions. The FEM analysis has been introduced to figure out the load transfer condition. The result has preliminarily revealed that the woven timber arch systems are scientifically stable. This ancient structure can provide modern engineers and architects with more possibilities and inspiration for their future designs.
