Abstract
Abstract The timber roofing structure (charpente or combles, in French) of the cathedral Notre-Dame, destroyed by the fire of April 15th, 2019, is studied. The aim is twofold: on the one hand, its structural analysis, never done before, can help to shed a light on the design process used by the carpenters of the XIIIth century, and to reconstruct, at least in part, the structural thought and knowledge of the ancient builders. On the other hand, it is interesting to evaluate the structural behavior of the original wooden structure in view of the reconstruction of the cathedral's roof.
