The article describes the specific technological process that has been examined in the reconstruction of the ceiling structure of a house on Sokolska Street in Ostrava. Following experimental testing in laboratories at the Faculty of Civil Engineering VSB-TU Ostrava the technology of bonded shear bars under static reinforcement of timber ceilings was first applied and successfully tested in construction practice. This paper deals with the possibilities of using coupled timber-concrete structures by means a glued coupling bar. The described process of static reinforcement is particularly suitable for reconstruction of historic timber ceilings and places where it is necessary to prevent damage to non-supporting structures (e.g. ceiling, plaster, stucco decorations, etc.). The method is also employed in those cases where it is necessary to allow traffic-flow in the rooms below the reconstructed ceiling.
