Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Civil Engineering.
Dayanta, also called the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, is a square seven-floor pagoda located in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China. This thesis provides a visualized investigation of Dayanta in three aspects: (1) redrawing the four different versions of Dayanta in history; (2) providing a 3-D simulation of the structure and construction sequence of today’s Dayanta by using Autodesk 3DS MAX in a step-by-step manner; and (3) evaluating the performance of Dayanta by using Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis (FFTA) in the form of diagram and fuzzy logic graphics. A graphics pipeline has been proposed as the methodology to accomplish the entire modeling work, and it offers an effective method for the digital reconstruction of ancient buildings and graphical simulation in its structure and construction activities. The significance of the Dayanta modeling work can be reflected in the contributions to preserve ancient architecture, visualize historical data in 3-D graphics, and apply the models in education. The results produced by the two FFTA agree with a real observation of Dayanta, ranging from extremely good to very good, verifying the effectiveness of the use of FFTA to investigate the Dayanta’s performance. In conclusion, the visualized investigation of ancient building can be regarded as an exploration of the application of visualization techniques and the employment of fuzzy methods when investigating the performance of the Dayanta.
