The consolidation of wooden floors is a common intervention in the practice of building rehabilitation. The necessity of this type of works comes from the sensitivity of wood to biological degradation, the existence of a significant number of heritage buildings in which the construction of the slabs was done without ensuring compliance with the requirements of the normal exploitation (limiting the deformations), the occurrence in operation of the need to increase the capable loads. It is required, in case of consolidation at earthquake of the buildings with wooden floors, the creation of rigid slab (rigid in horizontal plane). The consolidation solutions that can be adopted are different, trying to respond to the diversity of situations/particularities which are encountered in practice. The paper briefly reviews the solutions currently used for the rehabilitation of wooden floors, then presenting a solution for the consolidation of a wooden floor belonging to an intermediate floor acted by gravitational actions, respectively a solution for achieving the rigid slab of an attic, of a multi-storey building.
