Antique Wooden Floor Construction Solutions and the Possibilities of Using them in Reconstructions

Abstract:

The article describes diverse solutions used in the construction of antique wooden beam-structure floors and analyses the viability of their application in reconstructions. The function of the individual layers of their structure is analysed by: 1.Comparing elasticity (shock absorption in accordance to the PN EN 14808:2005 standard) of floors with continuous support (joists lying on a mineral base and joists placed on a layer of sand) with parquets that have punctual support. 2.Comparing the elasticity of parquets lying on a boarding and those placed directly on joists. 3.Analysing the function of woodwork parquet joints in the floor structure. The capability of floors from antique manor houses in South-Eastern Poland to transfer own and usage loads is being assessed in order to make recommendations as to their preservation, relocation or substitution.
