The study considers the performance of double-cut dowel connections with the use of claw washers in the LVL beam. The authors present a method of testing the double-cut wood connection performance under compression, the angle of forces application in regard to the fibers being 45°. There has been carried out an experimental study of the connection with claw washers in the LVL beam for a 45°angle between the direction of the fibers in the outer and middle elements under the action compressive load. The testing results allow assessing the deformation value in the connection and the experimental values of the linear stiffness coefficient. There has been implemented an evaluation of results, and the nature of the connection`s fracture is considered.
