Tippner, J. ; Milch, J. ; Kunecký, Jiří ; Kloiber, Michal ; Brabec, M. ; Sebera, V.
Traditional all-wooden woodworking joints play an important role in the behaviour of timber structures. These joints are also widely used when historically valuable constructions are being reconstructed and the connections are usually the masterpieces that testify to the high carpentry skills and knowledges of the overall mechanical behaviour. Within historical timber structures traditional carpentry joints were used while wooden dowel fixed mutual position of elements. Main aim of this study was to contribute to knowledge base about prediction and analysis of the mechanical performance of frequently used scarf joints made from spruce wood fastened using oak dowels. The objectives were to determine the joints' slip moduli and load-carrying capacity by means of theoretical and experimental approaches, in next to assess the mechanical behaviour of dowels through experimental investigation, and finally to perform a strain analysis of dowels. For these purposes, the optical technique employing three-dimensional full-field digital image correlation was used. The experiments were done on the full-scale specimens meeting the requirements of European standards (EN 383 and EN 26891), which were made from Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) and English oak (Quercus robur L.). The mechanical load consisted in tensile parallel and perpendicular to grain direction within the main components. The results of this study showed good correlation between theoretical approach based on based on Beam on Elastic Foundation theory and European yield model theory and experimental observations.

The Cloak Bridge in Český Krumlov – measuring of mechanical properties
Kloiber, Michal ; Sebera, V. ; Hrivnák, Jaroslav ; Tippner, J. ; Kunecký, Jiří
Timber bridges are often exposed to harsh conditions of the environment. The exposure of the timber structure often leads to its deterioration. Standard test procedures to determine typical properties of wood cannot be used as there is the requirement of the minimum interference with the structure. Several non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for the determination of timber condition have been developed and are used. However, the results of NDT can be used to predict mechanical properties of timber elements only to a limited degree. Semi-destructive testing (SDT) methods are a compromise. In the paper a functional model of a device that allows for the measurement of conventional strength and modulus of deformation of timber in compression parallel to the grain is presented. The device is inserted to a bored hole and pushes the jaws apart with a small test jack loading the bore walls. This paper presents possible use of the device for surveys of timber bridges.

Analysis of mini-jack technique for in situ measurement of strength
Kloiber, Michal ; Tippner, J. ; Kunecký, Jiří ; Sebera, V. ; Milch, J. ; Hrivnák, Jaroslav
The paper presents a recently developed diagnostic technique for in situ determination of modulus of deformability (MODL) and conventional strength (CSL) parallel to the grain using the mini-jack inserted in bored hole. The mini-jack compression technique simulates the standard compression test, it is compared to that to examine its prediction strength (correlation coefficients). The paper shows an influence of moisture content of wood on experimental measurements using this technique. The measurement was carried out at spruce samples at three moisture contents of 12, 18 and 24%. The results of the tests prove a very good correlation of the strength determined by the proposed technique and wood density and strength determined at universal testing machine in compression parallel to the grain. The effect of the moisture content on the measurement by the mini-jack technique was proved to be significant. Beside that, the newly-developed instrument was also studied using digital image correlation (DIC) technique to analyze induced strains around the bored hole. This was studied on halved spruce samples. The DIC revealed symmetric character of the loading and significant differences between strains induced in tangential and longitudinal directions.

Včelaření jako terapeutická aktivita v sociální práci
Kunecký, Jiří ; Hubertová, Lucie (advisor) ; Čihánková, Ivana (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with beekeeping. It understands this activity not only in the first meaning, the agricultural activity itself, but it tries to show it as an option for psychological and social growth. The work tries to sketch out its dissemination in social farms, sheltered workshops, psychiatric clinics and gardens as well as on roofs in cities. Many case studies which took place here in the Czech Republic as well as in other countries are mentioned more deeply in the text. Surprisingly, such kind of beekeeping could be described as a trend of young people, especially in urban areas. The thesis wants to depict advantages and disadvantages of this therapeutic activity with special interest in description of its influence on the behavior of the people involved in the activity. Beekeeping as a social activity could grow in near future and may become one of the common methods used in zootherapy. However, the group of people interested in the kind of therapy is specific and should be described more in detail. It is the purpose of this work to do so. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Kloiber, Michal ; Bláha, Jiří ; Hrivnák, Jaroslav ; Buzek, Jaroslav ; Kunecký, Jiří ; Hasníková, Hana
The survey described in this report contains the condition assessment of the truss of the Church of Holy Spirit in Telč. The stimulus for the survey report was an order from the parochial congregation ČCE in Telč. The order included a request to assess the condition and identify the extent of wood-decaying damage to the truss of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Telč, focusing on the location of the critical spots, the classification of the damage degree, the determination of the extent of hidden damage using non-destructive devices, and the specification of the wood damage cause, including drawing of the results in the documentation on the current truss condition. Based on the results, specific procedures of repair measures were proposed and the elements proposed for the reconstruction were sketched in the documentation.

The numerical assessment of a full-scale truss reconstructed employing a traditional all-wooden joints
Milch, J. ; Tippner, J. ; Sebera, V. ; Kunecký, Jiří ; Kloiber, Michal ; Navrátil, M.
The assessment of mechanical behaviour of all-wooden joints used in historical timber structures such as churches, castles etc. is currently paid a big attention in the Czech Republic, and Central Europe as a whole. The reasons are (a) a high number of such structures; (b) their significance to the national cultural heritage and maintenance for preserving their cultural value; and (c) missing information about global mechanical behaviour of joints and whole truss structures when loaded. Generally, valuable historical monuments need to be evaluated as regards the structure and safety of all timber elements in the structure for their future preservation [1]. The present paper shows a novel methodology for virtual assessment of mechanical behaviour used in a historically valuable gothic truss structure of St. James's Church in Brno, which is very valuable from both structural and architectural points of view. The church was constructed between1220 and 1724, the used styles including the Romanesque, the Gothic and the Neogothic. Also carpentry master Anton Ebenberger participated [2]. The aim of this paper was to describe the real loading of a joint that corresponds to the real function of a joint in the truss structure during the loading owing to new positions of replacement joints in the truss. Currently, the truss of St. James’s church shows large defects including decayed members; therefore, renovation is needed. The restoration of the truss should be carefully implemented in the structure and analyzed beforehand. Therefore, the numerical approaches based on FEM were used to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of the beam truss with a detailed 3D solid joint.
