Reinforced wooden beam structures under the influence of critical loads are subject to brittle fracture, which is dangerous when operating beams in buildings. To solve this problem, reinforcement of wooden beams for civil and industrial buildings was invented using steel rope as a reinforcing element. The rope is located in the stretched area of the beams along the original S-shaped trajectory. Numerical studies of the deformation of the reinforcement model using the LIRA program are performed. Based on numerical studies, samples were made for testing for pulling S-shaped anchoring elements from solid wood. The analysis of deformation - strength characteristics based on the results of tests on a tensile testing machine glued curved rods. A triple increase in the ductility of the deformation of the paste in the zone of destructive loads was revealed. The main problems of this type of reinforcement are the appearance of stress concentrators in areas with a small radius of curvature of the reinforcement. As a result of the study, the optimal trajectory of the reinforcement insert was determined with the aim of obtaining higher strength and deformation characteristics - with a reduced oscillation amplitude. The possibility of using structures in the form of safety elements has been established, which allows to increase the destruction time of beam systems when exceeding the permissible load.
