Abstract

This study analyzed the gable of gambrel roof, in particular, L-shaped gambrel roof. The research was conducted with houses of the rural gentry in the Joseon period located in eight cities and districts in the north Gyeongbuk region such as Bonghwa and Andong. This study aims to analyze two methods for adjusting the gable size of the L-shaped gambrel roof, 'a method of shifting the gable' and 'a method of adjusting the angle of the angle rafter ridge.' Gable in gambrel roof is aesthetically recognized as a very important factor, and the most basic condition to secure the design of the gable is to secure a gable larger than a certain size. Method of securing gable size is divided into two methods, 'a method of shifting the gable' and 'a method of adjusting the angle of the angle rafter ridge.' The method of shifting the gable can increase the gable size by 300% or more, on average, but it has to make 'hoecheom,' which causes a disadvantage in the maintenance and management of L-shaped house. On the other hand, the method of adjusting the angle of the angle rafter ridge has a less increase rate of the gable size (about 150%) as compared to the method of shifting the gable, but it has an advantage that it can configure the roof uniformly without making hoecheom. This study deals with a small part, the gable of L-shaped gambrel roof, but it has significance in that it attempted to analyze houses based on the structural characteristics of L-shaped house.
