Timber construction plays an important role in architectural history, in modern construction methods and in sustainable design, for which wood-only joinery techniques have been used for centuries. Traditional joinery typologies are the product of successiv ...
This paper investigates the structural performance of traditional moment-resisting interlocking timber joints for modern building construction. Gradually improved over generations, traditional Japanese and Chinese interlocking connections have proven struc ...
