Traditional architecture with timber-framed masonry (TFM) system was used in many
countries prone to seismic events due to its earthquake-resistant performance. In this …

Traditional timber frames were often filled with timber or masonry infill walls as enclosure
components. In this paper, four Chinese traditional timber frame specimens with different …

Chuan-dou timber-framed masonry building, ie, one of the traditional building types
consisting of timber pillars-and-transverse-tie-beams framing system and masonry panels …

The seismic performance of Chuan-dou timber structures was investigated. A 1: 2 scale
model of a Chuan-dou timber structure was constructed, with the bottom part filled with …
