  • Description: <jats:p>Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is located in the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, located in the southeast of Qinghai Province. And the unique geographical, climatic and economic conditions created a unique local houses - Tibetan Diaolou. Tibetan houses in Golog most used local materials and were made of stone, wood, soil, grass, rattan and other natural materials. The Tibetan Diaolou are assembled by flagstone to form a load-bearing structure of stone walls and wooden. The towers mainly distribute in Yaertang Xiang and Dengta Township which are located in the coastal of Make River. Through field investigation of two rural villages, this article has a deep understanding of the structure performance of Tibetan Diaolou. This paper analyzes its structural problems of safety and seismic performance, trying to improve the seismic performance of Tibetan Diaolou.</jats:p>
