The main purpose of this research is to determine the stress distributions on the contact surfaces between the logs of the historical carpentry corner joints. The additional purpose is to compare the stress distribution for four different boundary conditions in the case of dry and wet pine wood. The paper presents the results of numerical analysis of the shortcorner dovetail connection and the saddle notch corner joint, which are in common use in currently preserved objects of wooden architecture. The wood has been modelled as an orthotropic material. The numerical calculations have been carried out using MSC.Marc/Mentat software. The knowledge about the damage zones in the connections is immensely important, due to the need for maintenance, renovation and the reinforcement of existing elements in many timber historic buildings.
