Chapter 254 Modular Construction

Moreover, there is another advantage of fixing the mast with ropes, that is, there is no need to build a special scaffold to fix the mast, which not only saves time, but also saves space. When building the scaffold, only the tower body can be considered. .

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated, and this is not wisdom, it can only be regarded as life experience accumulated in daily life. Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows how to erect electric poles. Xu Jingxing is a rural person, so naturally he would not be ignorant.

It's just that when he replaced the electric pole with a more advanced-looking macaroni, he was a little flustered, so that he forgot the most common life wisdom.

Sure enough, after treating the macaroni as a telegraph pole, it took only half an hour to stand up. Once the four ropes were fixed, the stand was stable.

After standing up, all the workers cheered in unison, and Ding Shuhuai let out a sigh of relief.

Xu Jingxing's impatience has also eased a lot. To be honest, with such a tight construction period, he and Ding Shuhuai, the two responsible persons, are under the greatest pressure, especially him, who is responsible for specific work and cannot tolerate any mistakes. It is not as gentle as usual, which is also the main reason for the quarrel with Ding Shuhuai before.

Fortunately, everything seems to be going well so far.

After the base of the tower is built, the masonry columns are erected, and the rest of the work will be simpler. Although it is cumbersome, it is enough to assemble the components used on the tower according to the drawings. Be careful, and generally there will be no major problems. wrong.

Speaking of it, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. It can be seen from the small matter of building a tower that the small building actually incorporates countless modern architectural concepts, which are practical and advanced. It is said that the modular construction method in the construction of the tower alone made the workers involved in the construction dumbfounded.

The modular construction method sounds very modern. However, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties and even during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the carpenters of the flower planters applied this architectural concept to traditional buildings. Not to mention the small modules of various small components, just Say large modules.

This traditional wooden tower is actually assembled from large modules. For example, the five-story wooden tower he is building now is actually more accurate because it is assembled from five large modules. Layer by layer, superimposed layer by layer, connected by mortise and tenon structure, a tower is considered to be successfully built.

Ordinary people may not understand this principle, but it can be said more bluntly. Everyone must have used fast food boxes, whether they are round or square, they are all set together one by one. The same is true for structural towers. The first layer is nested together with the first layer. The bottom layer occupies the largest area, the second layer is slightly smaller, and the third layer is next.

This wooden tower is superimposed in this way, just like a stack of fast food boxes nested together, the joints are connected by a mortise and tenon structure, which can ensure that the joints are evenly stressed and the structure is stable.

Of course, this structure is not perfect, and it is easy to fall over when subjected to strong earthquakes or strong winds.But at this time, the macaroni set up before will come in handy.

The masonry columns are not for looking good, but the core point of this structure. There are masonry columns in the middle. When strong winds or strong earthquakes come, the superimposed towers will shake back and forth, but once they shake, The masonry column in the center of the tower body will be stressed, binding every part of the tower body like a traction rope.

If the simple principle is not very clear, then you can understand it by doing an experiment. If five fast food boxes are stacked together and blown with an electric fan, one or two top fast food boxes must be blown crooked first, and then blown by the wind force. One point, it will be blown and scattered all over the place, but if you dig a hole in the center of the fast food box and put a chopstick into it, then no matter how strong the wind is, the set of fast food boxes together will not change, unless The wind is strong enough to blow five fast food boxes together.

It is easy to blow five fast food boxes, but it is not so easy to blow away a 20-meter wooden tower.What's more, the fast food box itself has no foundation, so it is not difficult to blow it away, but the wooden tower has a tower base, and it is a very stable Xumizuo tower base. This tower base can well relieve the pressure caused by the tower body swinging, so as to ensure The stability of the tower body.

Why did the Shengjin Pagoda stand for more than [-] years without collapsing? Did it not encounter strong winds?Have you ever experienced a strong earthquake?
Obviously, it is this structure that ensures the longevity of the Shengjin Pagoda for hundreds of years.

This kind of structure is called flexible structure in modern architecture. From the simplest mortise and tenon structure, to the Xumizuo tower base, to the modular tower body with overlapping and inlays, and the masonry column standing in the center of the tower body, all follow such a principle.

This principle is widely used in modern buildings. Those high-rise buildings look like reinforced concrete, but in fact the structure of many key parts is similar to this five-story wooden tower. The deformation space that takes place.

To put it bluntly, this flexible structure is like a willow branch, which will swing with the wind when encountering strong winds, but will return to its original shape when the wind stops.

The ancients may not know so much physical knowledge, but through their continuous exploration and practice, they have found out such a scientific and practical construction method.

The masonry column was erected, and the construction of the tower was very fast. One by one, the pre-made and carved components were installed, just like building blocks. In less than three days, the five-storied wooden tower It is formed, although some simple modifications are still needed, but the workload is not large.

When the scaffolding was removed, a hundred thousand firecrackers "cracked" sounded in front of the tower.

When the sound of firecrackers stopped, he stretched out his hand towards Ding Shuhuai and made a "please" gesture, "Mr. Ding, please review."

"Please, please, too," Ding Shuhuai looked excitedly at the 20-meter-high five-story wooden pagoda in front of him. 20 meters is nothing to those high-rise buildings with a distance of 300 to [-] meters, but to these ancient construction experts, it is a small miracle.

More importantly, the pagoda was designed and built by him and Xu Jingxing, two laymen. Before this, neither of them had any experience in this field.Therefore, when I saw this majestic five-story wooden pagoda standing like a huge pillar in the center of the island, my mood became uncontrollably excited.

Of course, whether the tower is safe or not, whether it is beautiful or not, and how good the viewing effect is still needs to be tested and checked, and the safety factor is the top priority. Otherwise, the tower will be demolished.
