Abstract:
The trend of renewing old masonry buildings and provision
of new housing, public and other areas without using new building lots is becoming increasingly important to ensure the conformity of the renovated
buildings with the current technical regulations. One compliance aspect is the load-bearing function, which in a large degree depends on the floor structures.
As old masonry buildings often have timber floors, the purpose of this article is to provide an insight into the field of timber floor strengthening. Thus, the evolution
of floor structures is compactly presented, and common types of timber floors are given. Furthermore, the weight of different timber floor fillings is studied in
relation to the prescribed imposed loads. Measures for strengthening old timber floors are introduced separately for vertical and horizontal strengthening. Additionally,
a classic timber floor and a timber-concrete composite floor are analyzed according to the current building standards in the European Union, the
Eurocodes.
