The survey of selected historic roof trusses performed within the NAKI DF12P01OVV037project revealed numerous failures and defects of joints of roof truss elements of historic and listed buildings. Based on the results of the survey, the article outlines potential rehabilitation and reinforcement techniques of joints of roof truss elements in which the most frequent defects and failures were found using composite fabrics based on high-strength carbon fibres and epoxy resin (CFRP).
