Abstract: Rehabilitation of load-bearing timber structures with buildings of historic preservation protection raise a number of problematic issues. One of the problems is the need for analysis of timber framed structures made of solid wood for large spans over irregular ground plan with large loads. These input conditions and dimensions of cut profiles making it necessary to increase the resistance profile, eliminating deflection and elimination of load-bearing elements dimensions. This case was solved in the rehabilitation of the roof space of the former stables in historically protected ruin Vitkuv Hradek. A massive wooden structure with spatial beam amplification technology built of carbon composite blades into the body of the beam was chosen.
Keywords: historical buildings, renovations, wood construction, carbon composites
