This paper deals with research regarding a singular technique adopted by Renaissance carpentry. The technique consists in the assembly of timbers whose size is shorter than the span to cover (and in some cases the span can be quite considerable). The resulting composite beam features an arch-like internal mechanical behaviour, which considerably reduce the inflection of the beam.

Abstract
This paper deals with research regarding a singular technique adopted by Renaissance carpentry. The technique consists in the assembly of timbers whose size is shorter than the span to cover (and in some cases the span can be quite considerable). The resulting composite beam features an arch-like internal mechanical behaviour, which considerably reduce the inflection of the beam.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
