This paper presents the results of studies on theinfluence of geometric parameters of the elements of archstructures from LVL (x) on the ultimate breaking load ofthe elements of arched structures at bending. The radiusof carved curvolinear elements depends on the inclinationangle of the fibers to the longitudinal axis of the LVLsheet. Studies have shown that the angle of the fibers andthe radius of curvature have a significant influence on theultimate breaking load of the arched elements. Criticalvalues of the fibers inclination angle to the longitudinalaxis of the LVL sheet are determined at which the cross-section resistance of the elements of the arched structurestarts significantly decreasing. The obtained data can beused in designing small architectural forms in the form of arched bearing structures from LVL(X).
