This thesis deals with the determination of mechanical properties of Norway spruce wood attacked by spruce bark beetle at various stages of damage by means of bending tested samples and impact strenght according to European standards. Due to the current occurrence of bark beetle calamities is only wood from these logs largely marketed. The main objective was to find out whether the wood affected by spruce bark beetle has comparable mechanical properties with undemaged wood and its subsequent use in construction as a construction timber. We did not notice any significant changes in the bending test where the modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of the wood affected by spruce bark beetle were comparable to those of the undamaged. On the contrary the impact strength test showed a decrease in the values for the maximum strength and toughness of the damaged wood compared to the undamaged. This shows us that wood affected by spruce bark beetle is becoming more fragile than undamaged trees. By done research we have found out that the bending strength of the wood affected by spruce bark beetle is not significantly different compared with undamaged trees. The theoretical part includes issues related to the testing of wood and its strength characteristics. Afterwards, there are listed the results of a statistical evaluation.
