ABSTRACT
In historic wooden structures, deformations can be influenced by factors that are negligible within the first 50 years of the building's existence. In attics where the roof covering is made of metal sheets, the air and structural elements heat up during the day and cool down rapidly at night. This phenomenon, over a long period, can cause micro-cracks and surface material degradation. For the study, historic buildings meeting the criteria for service class II according to PN-EN 1995-1-1 were selected. Measurements of deflections, humidity, and modulus of elasticity of the wood were conducted. The actual deflections of the examined structures were found to be 28% to 37% higher than those obtained from numerical calculations, indicating ongoing rheological processes in the wooden structures.
