| Abstract |
In this study the section tables for the column members of Hanok were developed, which can be used in the early design stage of Hanok. The key items in developing section tables are column types, wood species and their material properties, connection types between column and horizontal members, roof loads, and member length and their topological disposition. The columns of Hanok are classified as four types, such as, exterior corner column, edge column, interior corner column and interior column. I proposed approximate calculation method for computing tributary loading area for each column types using representative span. The field applicability of the developed column section tables were evaluated using two test-bed Hanoks. The column sections by three methods, that is, detailed structural check, section tables and field adopted section were compared. It turned out that the sections from the section tables are somewhat conservative and has its limit that it did not considered lateral loads, but showed appropriate field applicability in initial design stage of Hanok. |
