Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:In many countries, traditional construction comprises floor and roof systems in wood. Current knowledge assumes the need to preserve and to protect existing wood systems as a cultural value with important advantages to the overall behaviour of the building. In this chapter, after a description of the most common systems used in traditional wooden floors and roofs, strengthening techniques are presented. For that, the analysis and design of the ex-isting structures is discussed and the effectiveness of the strengthening techniques is evaluat-ed through experimental results obtained in laboratory.
