I am performing a structural analysis on a reconstruction of a 2,000 year old timber framed house. Archaeological evidence suggests that this house was 10x10m with support posts about every meter. Each post was around 10-20cm in width and was buried 20-30cm deep into the ground. A comparatively massive center post suggests the presence of a roof. My question is, how should I approach this analysis? I recognize that I must take column compression, buckling, and soil dynamics into account. I have found values for each column's bearing capacity using the Ylinen formula, but this does not take the soil into account. Conversely, treating each post as a pile takes soil into account but neglects compressive forces and buckling. Is there a way to unify all these factors? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time. |
