Lateral Shear Behavior of Dou-gong Bracket Complex in terms of Different Materials

摘要

1. The lateral rigidity of Dou-gong specimens showed positiverncorrelation with the increase of vertical load.rn2. The rotation of Lu-dou component plays an important rolernin the whole deformation of Dou-gong bracket complex.rn3. The specimen made of Glulam has stable working andrnenergy dissipating conditions under lateral load, but when Glulamrnapplied on the smaller components or tenon and mortisernconnections, the different adhesive strength and fibre directionsrnwill increase the instability of their performance.
