| Abstract |
Multi-storied timber buildings need complex and professional technology to build up multi-stories compared with single-storied building. Especially, the corner part where beam and purlin meet should be treated importantly. The lintel structure of corner can be classified into 4 types: Guit-Bo, Guijabi-Bo, Mu-Ju, Guigo-Ju. 4 types of corner structure are different in the size and the form of corner part, and the diminishing rate according to the structure method. Guit-Bo type, which was mainly used in the temple buildings, is the structure to erect the corner column on the beam which laid on the lower bracket sets. Guijabi-Bo type has a restriction like Guit-Bo when it is used in the main temple; however when it is used in gate pavilion, it takes an advantage to be free from the size and the shape of corner, because it is laid between Jugan-Po(Bracket Sets Between Columns). Guigo-Ju type is the unique type of Chosun which began to be made with establishment of Chosun Dynasty. This type has an structural advantage, thus it is used in the large building. Mu-Ju type is a coupling method without column. |
