Abstract

Through-tenon joints are widely used in ancient timber buildings. To study the influence of the gaps between mortise and tenon shoulder on the seismic performance of through-tenon joints, a 1:3.52 scaled model was constructed and used for low cyclic loading test. Finite element analysis was conducted to study the mechanical behavior of the through-tenon joint. The seismic performance parameters of the model such as moment-rotation hysteresis curves, envelope curves, degradation of rigidity, and energy dissipation capacity were compared. The analyses showed similar changing characteristics, which indicated that the finite element analysis results were reliable. Based on the results, 7 through-tenon joint finite element analysis models with different gaps between mortise and tenon shoulder were established. The seismic performance of each of the through-tenon joints with different gaps between mortise and tenon shoulder were studied. The moment-rotation hysteresis curve of the through-tenon joint had an obvious pinching effect, and the through-tenon joint had good rotational loading capacity and good deformation ability. The peak rotational loading capacity, initial stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity of the joint decreased, while the gap between mortise and tenon shoulder increased.
