In order to meet the requirements of post-disaster permanent reconstruction, this paper, based on lab tests and engineering example examination, presents the application technology of wood-structured building and its practical example for Sichuan post-quake reconstruction. According to experimental results, the heat insulation capability of the common architecture envelope structure (single-layer mixed wall structure of bamboo and soil) in Sichuan traditional wood-structured building is not satisfactory, with its heat transfer coefficient of 4.59 W/(m2·K). Using the innovative technology of increased airspace, the improved envelope structure of wood-structured building, with the lower construction cost and better heat transfer coefficient of 2.1-2.3 W/(m2·K), performs well in heat insulation and living comfortability. Moreover, due to the improvement of construction technology, the new wood-structured building is featured with better quake-proof performance, shorter construction cycle, and lower building costs, which is fit for practical use in the post-disaster reconstruction.
