Influence of geometric parameters on the stiffness of traditional dovetail timber joint
Kunecký, Jiří ; Cacciotti, Riccardo ; Kloiber, Michal
The paper presents the development of numerical modeling for a traditional dovetail timber joint. The objective is to find the influence of its geometrical properties on the mechanical stiffness of the joint as well as to assess the main problems and limitations faced during the numerical modeling of the structure. An experiment with a replicated timber joint was used to validate the model. Material properties were ascertained and contact adjustment was made. Parametric study was performed: two angles of the joint beams were varied. Suitable ranges of the angles for each type of loading were found. Main limitations and problems present in the modeling are depicted in the discussion.

Diagnostic methods for evaluation of construction timber
Heřmánková, V. ; Kloiber, Michal ; Tippner, J. ; Anton, O.
In the present time, there is an effort in the Czech Republic to increase the share of realization of wooden structures. For this reason the necessity to pay higher attention to wood as building material, to learn how to inspect its quality before starting the building as well as of the already bulit-in wood is evident. The paper performs diagnostic methods for evaluation of construction timber being used at the workplaces of the authors. The methods are sorted according to the kind of invasiveness onto non-destructive, semi-destructive and destructive.

The effect of chemical degradation of surface layers on mechanical properties of wood
Drdácký, Miloš ; Kloiber, Michal ; Frankl, Jiří ; Bryscejn, Jan ; Tippner, J.
The aim of the research was the determination of the effect of chemical degradation on the surface layers of wooden constructional elements and their mechanical properties and also the depth which the damage reaches. The degradation of wood surface layers was caused by chemical reactions of some compounds contained within fire-prevention coatings applied repeatedly on wooden constructions of historic buildings in the past. These include e.g. ammonium sulphate and ammonium phosphate. This paper presents experimental procedures and results obtained through measuring of mechanical properties in the damaged layer of fibrillated wood and in wood without damage. The observed properties were wood compressive and tensile strength and wood hardness. The results proved a loss in cohesion and changes in mechanical properties only in a thin surface layer.

Impact of chemical corrosion on mechanical characteristics of wood
Frankl, Jiří ; Kloiber, Michal ; Drdácký, Miloš ; Kučerová, I.
The contribution is dedicated to the problem of chemical corrosion of surface layers of wood in buildings, caused by reaction of chemical substances contained in formerly used chemical anti-fire agents, applied by spraying or coating on wooden construction elements. Findings discovered during survey of buildings and laboratory methods (mechanical tests) of testing of impact of damage on mechanical characteristics of wood and wooden construction elements are presented in the poster.

Site investigation of wooden structures
Kloiber, Michal ; Holan, J.
The investigation deals with assessment of gothic part of roof frame situated in the Church Nanebevzetí Panny Marie a sv. Ondřeje at Starém Hobzí. A part of investigation there was a proposal of stabilization treatment prepared with respect of historical value of the church. The identification of main abiotic and biotic factors of degradation was performed with the aim of transition determination between the sound and destroyed parts. There was proposed mainly the construction arrangements out of preservative treatment because of their substantial effectiveness. The presumption of such arrangements there are preservative treatments such as sterilization and/or chemical preservation.
