Abstract
Laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) is an engineered bamboo product that provides consistent and reliable mechanical properties for structural applications while offering options for green, environmentally friendly and sustainable development. This paper presents a significant and novel case study highlighting different phases such as analysis, design and construction of a three story office building in which LBL has been used as the main building material. In this building, the main components are prefabricated and then assembled on site making the construction process fast and efficient. Hand calculation techniques were combined with finite element modeling to accurately and efficiently determine the dimensions of components. At present, the design of engineered bamboo structures is based on the standards of wooden structures, but with the gradual increase of engineered bamboo structures, it is important to develop design standards for engineered bamboo.
