Urgency of the research. Positive experience with the use of CLT panels in distress has been observed for a long time in Eastern Europe and is considered necessary to study the strength and factors affecting the load-bearing capacity of this type of structures made of transverse glued wood (CLT). Target setting. An integral important issue for CLT panels is torsional strength, which has a scheme of destruction by chipping layers of boards and requires the establishment of the main factors of influence to assess the load-bearing capacity of this type of stress. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Shear and torsional strength is one of the main issues in the strength of CLT panels as an orthotropic plate, which has interested many researchers from different countries, including Blaß, Görlacher (2002) [1], Bosl (2002) [4], Jeitler (2004) [11 ], Jöbstl, Bogensperger, Schieckhofer [12], Wallner (2004) [18], Bogensperger, Moosbrugger (2007) [3], Silly (2010) [14, 15], Hirschmann (2011), Blaß, Flaig (2012) [2], Dröscher, Brandner, Kreuzinger, Sieder (2013), Dietsch (2017), Serrano (2018). Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The issue of identifying factors influencing the bearing capacity of PKD panels during shear and torsion has not been resolved.. The purpose of the article. Establishment of the main factors of influence for an estimation of bearing capacity of CLT of panels at shift and torsion.. The presentation of the main material. Cross laminated timber, as a sheet building material based on layers of boards with mutually perpendicular arrangement of boards in adjacent layers, has a number of important factors that affect the strength of CLT panels in shear and torsion. Thirty years of world experience in the use of CLT panels in multi-storey construction proves the importance of considering different models of panels as diaphragms and rigid frame elements from panel-frame buildings. Particular attention is paid to the nature of the destruction of the panel for chipping, both in the plane of the panel and from the plane. The importance of this type of stress state is further enhanced by a group of different shear or group of test schemes according to EN16351, including rolling shear strength tests. The latter value of strength is a new phenomenological feature of CLT panels. Conclusions and suggestion. Based on experimental studies of the strength of the glued rods in the cross section of CLT panel, the change in strength depending on the diameter of the metal rod and its location in the cross section, which is characterized by alternation of mutually transverse layers of boards.
