What is the atlas number of the concrete corbel column?

The atlas number of concrete corbel columns is 11G329-3.

Both corbels and sparrows are the focus of carved and painted decorations in ancient Chinese architecture. Their main function is to support the eaves of the roof. In ancient China, corbels evolved from braces. Corbels are also called "horse legs" in some places.

Because bracing is a good solution to the problem of supporting roof eaves, but bracing cannot meet the requirements of many buildings at an artistic level, so the birth of corbels solved this problem.

Extended information

The method of corbels is reflected in its position, the different contents expressed by the carved boards at different positions, and the relationship with other components. No matter how big or small the corbels are in terms of structural support, they are always attached to the eaves and columns at the front of the house.

So overall, the distribution of corbels on a building is even and orderly, but their form and decorative content are not exactly the same. The corbels of the main hall are of course large in shape and exquisitely decorated. The corbels of the secondary houses are simple in shape, and even use braces instead of corbels.

This also shows the difference in hierarchy between master and slave in the etiquette system. For the same building, although the form of the corbels under the eaves is the same, the decorative content is not exactly the same.
