The results of testing full-scale triangular arch span 12 m Arch loaded jacks lifting capacity of 20 tons per quarter of the span concentrated forces transmitted through the steel belts to traverse the arch. Arch deformation sensors fixed resistance, dial indicators and deflectometer. According to test results graphs plotted strains, as well as diagrams of normal and tangential stresses.

Keywords: arch from glued wood, metal triangular wooden arch, full-scale experiments compressed curved elements, brittle fracture.
