| Abstract |
This study examines the connecting method of wooden architecture found through the restoration process of Geuklakjeon (極樂殿) Hall of Bongjeongsa (鳳停寺) Temple in Korea, which was constructed in Goryeo(918-1392) Dynasty. This research also deals with the characteristics of the structure and construction method through the findings of the connecting method. The scope of the study is on the column, the bracket set, and the frame structure of Geuklakjeon Hall.
On Geuklakjeon Hall, column is connected with sill(下引枋) and penetrating tie(昌枋). Joints used between column and sill are tenon(丈夫), double tenon(雙丈夫), and dovetailed double tenon joint. Joints used between column and penetrating tie are tenon and Sagwae(cross joint). Joints used between each penetrating tie are stepped dovetailed joint and halved joint.
In the structure of Geuklakjeon Hall, it was found that front·rear and left·right side of the building used the different connecting method. It is due to the reason that side of the hall and inner part structured with the middle height of columns(中高柱) is different. The frame structures such as main beams(大樑), end beams(宗樑), middle bracket posts(包童子柱), are connected with the joint and splice method. The center bay and side elevation bay are constructed with the different frame and construction method. In particular, the frame structure of the side has tall column(高柱) which is connected with beams and penetrating ties. Through the study mentioned above, it is found that the connecting methods are highly related with the plan, structure, and construction method to construct a building |
