1 Recent research on Timber Engineering at Tongji University Minjuan HE Tongji University, Shanghai, China Aug. 20,

2 Outline 1 History of timber structures in china 2 Important issues on the development of timber structures in China 3 Recent research on timber engineering at Tongji University 4 Prospect Aug. 20,

3 1 History of timber structures in china Timber sturctures has a very long history in China. About 3500 years ago, Chinese started to build post and beam timber constructions connected by mortise and tenon. Tenon Dougong Aug. 20,

4 1 History of timber structures in china Now a lot of timber palace, temples and pagodas are still in existence. Foguang Temple Built in 857 A.D. It is 34m in length and 17.77m in width. Aug. 20,

5 1 History of timber structures in china Yingxian Wooden Pagoda (built in 1056 A.D. ) It is 67 m in height. The pagoda is a 9-story octagonal building and was constructed without using any metal connectors. It is also one of the tallest ancient wooden buildings in the world. Aug. 20,

6 1 History of timber structures in china Hundreds of year ago, a lot of large scale timber constructions were built. Aug. 20,

7 1 History of timber structures in china From 50s to 70s last century, brick or concrete - timber hybrid structures were built in lot of areas. Aug. 20,

8 2 Issues on the development of timber structures in China In the 1980s, concerning the large population and shortage of wood resource, our government restricted people to use timber as construction material. Aug. 20,

9 2 Issues on the development of timber structures in China Recent ten years, with the increasing of imported wood resource and local fast planted forest, our government encourage to use timber as a kind of building material. Aug. 20,
