2018年6月11日 · Bracket sets are created by placing a wooden block (“dou”) onto a column to form a solid base. Another wooden bracket (“gong”) is then inserted into the dou to support either a wooden beam,...

2015年7月21日 · Dou Gong or “cap and block” is known to be a remarkable structural element of joining wooden brackets. It is one of the greatest elements in Chinese traditional architecture. The pieces are fixed together by only the joints made in the wood.

As a key structural member of the traditional timber structure, the Dou-Gong bracket, plays an important role in transferring the load of the roof-beam system to the column frame layer. It serves both structural load-bearing and decoration functions, and its mechanical properties affect structural safety.

The Dou-gong bracket, a special connection component between the column and beam, plays a pivotal role in both structural force transmission and decorative function. Composed of many cantilever joists, named Gong, stacked one on top of another in a criss-crossed pattern, and connected by Dou members, the Dou-gong bracket as a whole could be ...
