范姜老屋建築彩畫中之文化意涵

The Cultural Meanings of Architectural Paintings Revealed by Fan-Jian Traditional Houses

建築彩畫是建築裝飾的一種，也是反應不同種族、不同宗族文化內涵的最佳媒材。本研究以新屋鄉范姜老屋群的大木及非大木彩畫為研究對象，擬藉此了解范姜老屋建築大木及非大木彩畫裝飾的內容；並擬藉此解讀范姜一族的治家、傳家理念與彩畫裝飾所呈現出之文化意涵。研究方法有三：文獻回顧、田野調查及宗族成員訪談。主要研究結果為：1.五戶老屋中大木及非大木彩畫裝飾的種類、應用位置與裝飾主題 2.由上述兩類彩畫裝飾，推知范姜人寓教於住屋生活空間中的的治家、傳家宗族理念 3.范姜老屋建築彩畫在住屋空間中的多元文化意涵。

A case study involving slope foundation excavation located in northeast Taiwan is presented. Factors considered in the analyses and the corresponding measurements from a building foundation excavation on the toe of dip-slope is discussed. Extensive efforts were made to compare the numerical analysis results with the in-situ instrumentation measurements. Based on the analysis results from PLAXIS and STABLE, it demonstrates that the original proposed open-cut method is unsuitable for this dip-slope excavation condition. It was found that the sliding failure may occur under the rainfall and earthquake conditions. The sliding surface is extending along with the bedding slips. To minimize those safety problems, the alternative construction method using the pile retaining wall and the tie-back anchors are proposed. According to the numerical analysis results, both the rainfall and earthquake conditions for the alternative method are able to conform to the safety requirements outlined in the Taiwan Building Codes. It was concluded that the elasto-plastic analysis is not conservative for this slope foundation excavation. The analysis results from PLAXIS have the closest agreement with the field measurements. Furthermore, the deformation trends obtained from PLAXIS analyses match with those from field instrumentation measurements. However, the deformation values from the analyses are less than those from the field measurements. This could be attributed to the creep effects and assumed conditions.
