Column-leaning Displacement of Korean Traditional Wooden Architecture : 3D Scanning Data of Columns of Sungryeoljeon in Namhansanseong

A study on Sungryeoljeon, a historic structure within Namhansanseongreveals distinct column-leaning patterns in Korean traditional wooden architecture. Using 3D scanning technology, researchers measured the displacement of 12 columns, finding they generally lean southward and rotate clockwise, though at varying rates depending on direction. This method offers precise, periodic data to track structural changes over time, providing insights into the behavior of such heritage structures. The findings underscore the importance of continuous monitoring to understand and preserve architectural characteristics that are already in motion.
