This research relates to the composite sandwich plywood plates with skin layers of birch plywood and a core of straight and waved plywood cell-type ribs. This specific form of ribs allows to simplify manufacturing processes, to increase the glued area and the ways of load transferring paths and to tailor the stiffness in both (longitudinal and transversal) directions providing increased specific stiffness, strength or load bearing capacity (stiffness, strength or load bearing capacity to mass ratio). The various results depending on chosen variables (according to strength-stiffness criteria) were obtained for one span plate in bending. A various thicknesses of plywood sheets are taken for skins and straight rib parts while for waved part of ribs the 3 layer plywood was taken.
