Many traditional Chuan-Dou frame historic buildings exist in Taiwan. In-situ dismantling investigations indicated that three types of timber joints are involved in the traditional Chuan-Dou timber frames, which cannot be identified visually before dismantling. This research, therefore, aim at establishing a nondestructive testing (NDT) method to examine different types of timber joints in traditional Chuan-Dou timber frame. Firstly, 72 full-scale specimens were manufactured; stress wave method was used, and stress wave velocity and amplitude transmission ratio (ATR) were calculated. Thirdly, statistics analyses were carried out and the examination procedure was established. Lastly, 9 specimens were made for confirmation of experiments, and good agreement was found between the analyzed results and confirmation experiments. After analyses, the examination procedure proposed in this research is that stress wave velocity should be firstly measured to analyze the continuity of the beam elements. If the beam elements are diagnosed as discontinued, the amplitude transmission ratio should be calculated to examine the typologies of timber joints. |
