ABSTRACT

The main building of Bongjeong-sa(temple) was composed by three frames in the front (13,312 mm) and the side (8,721 mm) (Fig. 2). The column is just placed on a foundation stone without the use of mechanical fasteners. The frame is composed by column and connecting beam. The connecting beams are connected by rake joints located over the columns, taking advantage of the reinforcement provided by the surrounding slot (Fig. 3).The architraves which are placed

bracket sets are located on column-connecting beam joints. All bracket sets, composed of soro (blocks) and cheomcha (arms), are located on architraves (Fig. 4). They are connected with one another by tie beam and the main role of those is the one interface columns with beams and the large percentage of the roof load about 2,500,000 N was transferred to foundation stone

by those. The elevation of a structure was made up of the four building layers: base, columns and connecting beams, bracket sets and roof (Fig. 5).
