In this article, a numerical analysis of various types of I-beam with web from transparent wood was performed and compared with standard OSB board and glass web. Properties of transparent plywood which have not yet been produced from new kinds of transparent wood samples were calculated using laminate theory. Results of analysis show, that the transparent wood composites prove to be very promising structural material for future use within the load-bearing structures of buildings. The best properties showed the transparent wood composites infiltrated by cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
