Abstract
The building is a masterpiece of the industrial architecture in the thirties of XX century. The original design is the work of the architect Rudolf Fischer. The construction of the building is realized in the period 1924–1925. The combination of different construction materials: masonry, reinforced concrete and timber, gives a unique structure. This contribution introduces a structural investigation, using MFE software, into the stability and efficiency of the design of the roof truss of the storage heritage building in Kustendil. A two dimensional model was used in numerical analysis to discuss and highlight structural sense of Austrian architect R. Fischer in the period of 1925–1925. The modeling of timber construction and the final conclusions are basic for the decision concerning the possible interventions in the building and the possibility to extend the service life of the roof structure.
