In the Dieh-Dou type timber frame, the columns not only connect with multiple layers of beams along the in-plane direction but also connect with beams in the traverse direction at the same level. In this study, the effects of small column effective section area and small joint distances on the flexural performance of the joints were investigated. A two-part series of full-scale, quasi-static cyclic tests were conducted. The first part involved the column connected with single layer of beam but with different effective column section areas. In the second part, the double-layer beam-column joint specimen with a 6 cm clearance was tested. Each set of parameters measured used three identical specimens. The test results indicate that effective column section area affects the stiffness and strength by only about 5%. By comparing these results with the results of the single-layer beam specimen, the double-layer beam specimens with short clearance exhibited a decrease in strength and stiffness of 12% and 26%, respectively. Block shear failure was observed in the column. |
