| Abstract |
This study delves into the dynamic characteristics of the stone structure in a traditional building, with a specific focus on Bulguksa Temple.
At the foundation's base lies a distinctive stone arrangement of natural stones irregularly stacked in layers, topped with processed stones to
create a beam-like structure. This innovative design allows controlled movement, creating essential spacing for effective energy dissipation. To
explore these dynamic features, a carefully crafted test specimen replicated the temple's foundation and underwent shake table tests with
varied ground motion scales. Analyzing the dynamic characteristics revealed the foundation's remarkable behavior during seismic events.
Unlike conventional rigid seismic foundations, Bulguksa's foundation, utilizing intentional displacement, dissipates seismic energy through
friction. This principle has evolved into modern seismic design known as base isolation, minimizing structural and human damage in
contemporary seismic methods. Essentially, this traditional seismic isolation method, designed for flexibility, serves as a precursor to the
contemporary base isolation approach, providing insights into minimizing damage in seismic design. |
