摘要
Woven timber arch bridges date back over 1000 years in China but were only rediscovered in the 1980s. Combining 'beam-weaving' techniques with mortise-and-tenon joints, they provide visually elegant structures with strong mechanical performance. As reported in this paper, the 'warp and weft' design has been enjoying a resurgence in recent years, not just for bridges but also in architecture and furniture. The origins, cultural significance and renaissance of woven arch bridges are explored together with their distinctive structural features and construction methods.
