Abstract (EN): The present work is based on a numerical study of a wood pavement of a Pousada medieval da Gralheira in Vila Real, Portugal, which is an example of the constructed patrimony of Tras-os-Montes. The negligence in the preservation of historic buildings lead to the current advanced state of deterioration, which implies a complex rehabilitation process. The features obtained in a visual inspection of the building and experimental campaign in wood specimens, made it possible to develop and calibrate a numerical model of the wood floor between the ground and first floors, of the Inn, to analyze the behavior of the structure in terms of serviceability limit state, so with a numerical model, one can predict the real behavior of the structure. The numerical models are powerful tools to aid in the structural design. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
