Abstract:
This paper presents the in situ experimental conservation work performed on three timber
structural elements from a XIX century building: two floor beams and one roof beam.
This palace was built in 1877 in the centre of Lisbon initially with residential purposes. It has four floors, with timber structural horizontal elements, stairs and roof beams(generally of Pinus sylvestris). The exterior walls are made of irregular stone masonry bedded on mortar, rendered and painted.
