Abstract
We present some applied data concerning the torsional behavior of gluedlaminated wood beams under several loading programs These data can contribute to adequate modeling of such behavior We review the theory of the structure and rheology of the wood material and the torsion of beams particularly those that are anisotropic and we describe the test device and the experimental environment that led to the data in question We show the failure characteristics of the studied beams in monotonous torsion and the influence of the loading amplitude in cyclic torsion on their behavior
