Horizontal diaphragms play an important role in the seismic behaviour of old buildings, and their behaviour when loaded by in‐plane shear has not yet been sufficiently described in literature. The distribution of horizontal forces among bearing walls is strongly dependent on the stiffness of horizontal components and their connections to the vertical structures. The paper focuses on horizontal diaphragms of historic buildings, such as traditional floor systems and feasible intervention technologies for the improvement of their resilience. Experimental behaviour of original and strengthened wooden floors is analysed in order to obtain information on the system performance and supply parameters for use in numerical modelling.
