Current times impose the usage of less raw building and more recycled materials. Wood is a material that can be recycled and processed in the factory in order to create new materials. Due to its mechanical characteristics, OSB3 has been chosen to create glued beams, which are hybrid elements with a configuration similar to GLULAM. This paper presents an analysis of the results obtained in four points bending tests on real scale beams made of solid wood and of glued OSB3 lamellae. The current research intends to compare solid wood beams with OSB3 glued beams, from failure load and elastic behaviour points of view.
