In the case of historic structures, the use of standards to es-tablish the material characteristics of in-situ structural elements is sometimes required. This paper analyzes possibilities of use of destructive or non-destructive methods for testing historic structures, the questions of transformation of experimental data into design values as well as sampling of material extracted from the his-toric structures. Case studies of testing of timber structures, roof tiles and historic masonry are included.en674conference paper
