Proportional and Structural Analysis of the Historical Truss of Church of St. Bartholomew in Mladočov

Abstract

The researched truss of the Gothic Church of St. Bartholomew in the village of Mladočov is one of the examples of the use of the historical Czech length units of measurement; in this case, the Gothic and Baroque part of it. At the same time, it analyzes the proportional relationships between the individual elements of the truss. The structural analysis in relation to current standards points to the fact that the original design of the structure based on geometrical and proportional principles satisfy the reliability conditions defined by current European standards for structural design.
