Lapped scarf joints for reconstruction of historical structures
Kunecký, Jiří ; Fajman, P. ; Hasníková, Hana ; Kuklík, P. ; Kloiber, Michal ; Sebera, V. ; Tippner, J.
This paper presents a description of the repair of timber structures using a prosthesis scarf\njoint designed for the replacement of damaged parts of beams. This new scarf joint makes use\nof the strutting effect of inclined contact faces where the forces are transmitted through\nwooden coupling elements - wooden dowels or keys. The scarf can be modified in four\nvariants according to the relevant stress and is suitable for historically valuable timber\nstructures. It meets both functional and aesthetic requirements. The designer - structural\nengineer will learn in the methods the load bearing capacity or stiffness of the beam with the\ndesigned joint, its recommended dimensions and detailed geometry. The contractor will\nappreciate the description of the execution and maintenance of the joint.

The conservation process describes the way of using prosthesis lap scarf carpentry joints for reconstruction of historical timber structures. This new scarf joint makes use of the strutting effect of inclined contact faces where the forces are transmitted through wooden coupling elements - wooden dowels or keys. The process consists of several chapters describing the diagnostics of original wood and the repaired structure, the design of the joint and execution of the joint. It also includes examples of succesful reconstruction made with according to this conservation process.

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.
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.
