Summary: | Zhuanyao dwellings faced significant seismic risks in rural regions of China. Therefore, a shaking-table test was performed to explore the seismic performance of Zhuanyaos and validate the finite-element simulation results. The results showed that the damage to the pier and roof levels of Zhuanyaos was more severe after earthquakes, resulting in a noteworthy increase in the displacement responses of these two levels compared to that of the vault level. The damage to the front structure (Yaolian) and mid-pier of the Zhuanyao were more severe than the damage to the back wall and side pier, respectively, which caused a significant reduction in acceleration responses of Yaolian and mid-pier. Following the crack development, dynamic response, and field investigation, three typical collapse modes of Zhuanyaos were presented. Subsequently, the parametric analysis was conducted using a verified finite-element simulation method. The results show that using the catenary arch can reduce earthquake damage in Zhuanyaos. Increasing the width of the middle pier can improve the seismic performance of Zhuanyaos to a certain extent; however, it may exacerbate local damage to the structure. Besides, the high seismic vulnerability of Zhuanyaos stemming from an increasing thickness of overlying soil cannot be ignored. |
