The traditional houses in Pingjiang area have important conservation value due to their unique regional characteristics and cultural features. This paper summarizes the architectural characteristics of different beam structures in the area based on field survey, and uses the finite element method to carry out experimental simulation and theoretical analysis of the combination of the frontal post and lintel construction and the side wall shelf purlin construction, and the combination of the frontal post and lintel construction and the side column and tie construction, so as to compare the mechanical properties of different beam structures. The research results show that the structure of the combination of the frontal post and lintel construction and the side column and tie construction is more stable. The article can provide a scientific and theoretical basis for the conservation and design of traditional houses.
