Abstract
This paper describes the bending creep behavior of two types of bamboo-based products, bamboo-laminated veneer lumber (BLVL), and glued-laminated bamboo (GLB, also called Bamboo Glulam) at different stress levels for half a year and recovery for the same time. It was found that the stress level of BLVL was more sensitive on creep property than that of GLB; the creep resistance of GLB was worse than that of BLVL in the stress levels of 30–50%; the instantaneous recovery ratio (elastic recovery to elastic creep) decreased with an increase of the stress levels, while the residual ratio (residual deformation corresponded to the total creep deflections) increased with an increase of stress levels for all specimens; Burgers model fit creep data very well for both bamboo-based products, while the recovery Weibull equation does not fit recovery data well for GLB.
