ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the characteristics of the Dong ethnic group's drum tower with a ringed-column hip-and-gable roof and column-and-tie-beam style (RHC style), focusing on its planar column network, timber framework system, and construction methods. Based on a modular design scheme, a 3-story RHC style drum tower was selected to establish a planar frame model. Static analysis under dead load and modal analysis were completed using SMIA software. The internal force distribution and mechanical property of this type of structure are discussed based on the internal force diagrams of the planar frame. The relevant analysis results can provide a reference for scholars studying drum towers.
