THE DESIGN OF WOODEN CHURCHES ROOF; AN EMPIRICAL SOLUTION AGAINST WIND AND RAIN DAMAGES. CASE STUDY: BUDEŞTI-JOSANI, MARAMUREŞ COUNTY, ROMANIA
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 1
Abstract
In Maramureş County, Romania, there are eight wooden churches inscribed on the World Heritage List. The special shape of the roof permits the fast flowing down of the rain water and the sliding of the snow. The churches in Maramureş County are built, generally, on the top of the hills directly exposed to weathering. Wind effects on structures can be conveniently separated into background and resonant components. The leaking velocity of the rain water and snow is calculated taking into account the shape of the roof and the tribological behavior of the wood.
