摘　　要：Wood beam-column frame is a popular structural system in United States and in ancient China. Chinese wood beam-column frame structures showed better seismic resistance properties than the US ones.The tenon joint is one of the reasons.This study performed monotonic and cyclic pushover tests to understand the behavior of Chinese tenon joints versus the behavior of the commonly used US wood beam-column connections. The test results indicate that the typical US wood beam-column connection is very strong under monotonic loads.The ancient Chinese tenon joint has the best behavior under cyclic loads.Wood beam-column frame is a popular structural system in United States and in ancient China.
