“…Joints were usually doweled, but round logs were often joined by undoweled 'saddle notched' joints. Although different types of joints were able to use in different parts of a wall, probably the most archaic type, the double notch was used directly under the deep eaves; the half notch was built over the eaves where the walls were to be planned or laid [53]. The full dovetail notch possibly began to be widely used in the 18 th cent u r y.…”

Engineered Wood Products for Construction

Engineered wood products (EWPs) have been progressively more being utilized in the construction industry as structural materials since the 1990s. In the content of EWPs, adhesives play an important role. However, because of their petroleum-based nature, adhesives contribute to toxic gas emissions such as formaldehyde and Volatile Organic Compounds, which are detrimental to the environment. Moreover, the frequent use of adhesives can cause other critical issues in terms of sustainability, recyclability, reusability, and further machining. In addition to this, metal connectors employed in EWPs harm their end-of-life disposal, reusability, and additional processing. This chapter is concentrating on dovetail massive wood elements (DMWE) as adhesive- and metal connector-free sustainable alternatives to commonly used EWPs e.g., CLT, LVL, MHM, Glulam. The dovetail technique has been a method of joinery mostly used in wood carpentry, including furniture, cabinets, log buildings, and traditional timber-framed buildings throughout its rich history. It is believed that this chapter will contribute to the uptake of DMWE for more diverse and innovative structural applications, thus the reduction in carbon footprint by increasing the awareness and uses of DMWE in construction.

“…The most famous of Kraków's wooden churches is the Wooden Churches of Southern Małopolska, listed as a World Heritage Site in 2003 (Kurek and Iop, 2018), which includes six of the best-preserved and oldest wooden Gothic churches typical of the area (https://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/es, Church of the Archangel Michael, Binarowa Church of the Archangel Michael, Binarowa; Church of All Saints, Blizne; Church of the Archangel Michael, Dębno; Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Archangel Michael, Hacz ów; Church of St Leonard, Lipnica Murowana; Church of St Philip and St James the Apostles, Sękowa, Table 1). The churches were built using the horizontal log technique, common in Eastern and Northern Europe since the Middle Ages, and have complex spatial structures, including, in most cases, towers, naves and presbyteries, as well as external arcades (Lubowiecka et al, 2021). All churches are known for their superb carpentry details, as well as unique structural designs and engineering solutions.…”

Impact of climatic-meteorological conditions on the Polish wooden cultural heritage: the example of wooden churches in Krakow

Poland has a large number of wooden churches, which are significantly threatened by climate change. In this study, we collect geographic, land-use type, water system, climatic and meteorological data of the study area to qualitatively and quantitatively explore the impact of climatic-meteorological conditions on the Polish wooden cultural heritage, using as an example six wooden churches in Wooden Churches of Southern Małopolska (a World Heritage Site) in Kraków. We found that (i) the region rarely experiences extreme precipitation, is located at the headwaters of Polish rivers, and is on higher ground, which makes it less prone to large flood flows, and therefore the impacts of larger hydraulic shocks are rare; (ii) the core and buffer zones where most of the wooden churches are located are densely forested, with a high risk of fires; and (iii) in terms of the current climatic conditions, the year-round relative humidity in the wooden civil churches in Poland exceeds the protection of the wooden heritage or facilities, and the temperature meets the protection criteria only in summer. At the same time, we propose specific recommendations for the conservation and restoration of Polish wooden churches in terms of damp proofing, insulation and drainage, and this study is expected to provide potential data and theoretical support for future related work.
