How to solve the shortcomings of barrel-piercing construction method

Tongdou architecture is a unique architectural style in ancient China. Its advantage is that it can provide a solid structure and beautiful appearance. However, it also has the following disadvantages:

1. The gap between buckets will gradually expand under wind and rain erosion, leading to problems such as rain leakage and weathering.

2. The setting and connection of the bucket requires precision technology, which is difficult to produce and install.

3. The traditional bucket building method can't meet the fire protection requirements and building energy efficiency standards of modern buildings, which limits its modern application.

To solve the shortcomings of barrel construction method, we need to start from the following aspects:

1. Adopt new materials: The application of modern technology makes the structural materials of bucket buildings have more choices, and high-quality building materials such as steel and reinforced concrete can be used to increase the strength and durability of the structure.

2. Improve the connection mode: adopting a new connection mode, such as tenon-mortise structure or other technologies with high strength and precision requirements, can avoid problems such as slippage and looseness of the connection in the traditional skip construction mode.

3. Strengthen protection and maintenance: the maintenance and protection of traditional bucket buildings can prolong their service life. For example, strengthening external wall insulation and installing rainwater drainage system can make up for its rainwater leakage problem.

4. Strengthen the design: In the design process, comprehensively consider the requirements of fire prevention and energy saving, and combine the characteristics of bucket building to optimize the structure and structure and improve the performance of the building.

5. Learn from foreign experience: Understanding foreign advanced building technologies and methods can provide new ideas and methods for our barrel-piercing building.
