Historical Timber Structures with Selected Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

Repairs of historical timber structures lead to connecting existing and new beams. The requirements for beam authenticity make use of older ways of connecting. The first type is the splice of beams in bending with the scarf joint, rafters and tie-beams are joined with the dovetail and, finally, the connection of the main joist with the strut is by the mortise carve.
