ABSTRACT
The paper discusses the results of investigations into the normal stress distribution in girders made of wood and hardboard glued together, reinforced with inserts made of a polyester resin- fibreglass base composite, or with steel bars. The investigation showed that the strongest effect on the decrease in normal stresses in the girders tested was produced by steel reinforcement.
