The supporting post in a unique and special way of connecting the upper and lower pillars is not only mainly used for the traditional Korean-houses known as Hanok, but also used for the reinforcement purposes to replace or connect some parts of the long pillar, and to preserve existing members during the repair of cultural properties. It is also used to connect and replace long vertical members such as long pillars, the multi-story structure of wooden pagoda and core pillars into several column members. The purpose of this study is to analyze the types and uses of the supporting post in traditional Hanok and to reinforce the vertical joints by developed vertical metal fittings. The rupture pattern of the joints by bending is shown through the experiment and the mechanical properties are compared with other experimental results.
