Abstract
The paper is concerned with timber constructions. The paper presents a solution of a rod deflection differential equation. The rod deflection equation describes a compressed rod to which a transverse force is applied. The equation accounts for the influence of shearing forces on the magnitude of displacement. Based on the equation, the critical force and the rod deflection function at the rod’s initial curvature defined by a sinusoid were determined. Having found the rod deflection function and the critical force, a formula for the instability factor $$ k_{c}^{G} $$ was derived to account for the influence of shear strain. The paper demonstrates in which particular cases it is necessary to take into account the influence of deflection caused by shearing on the critical load bearing.
