Abstract
Bamboo is a green construction material in line with sustainable development strategies. The use of raw bamboo in architecture has existed since ancient times. In the long development years of original bamboo buildings, many ... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press
Highlights
Similar to wood [1,2,3], bamboo is a green building material which is environmentally friendly and in line with sustainable development strategies
With natural bamboo as raw material, a series of new products, such as bamboo-woven plywood, bamboo mat plywood, parallel bamboo strand lumber (PBSL) [5,6,7,8,9], laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) [10,11,12,13,14] and Glubam [15] have been developed by using advanced composite and reconstituted technology and are gradually achieving a high level of industrialization
Scholars have researched various kinds of joints according to the material characteristics of raw bamboo and carried out some experimental studies on them, the existing jointing methods are not completely satisfactory
Summary
Similar to wood [1,2,3], bamboo is a green building material which is environmentally friendly and in line with sustainable development strategies. In order to alleviate the high demand for timber resources in China, the bamboo industry has developed rapidly. The use of bamboo in traditional dwellings such as Dai bamboo buildings (Fig. 1) in China and other kinds of dwellings in South America and Southeast Asia are mainly due to the convenience and economy of materials, while in modern raw bamboo buildings are mainly due to people’s pursuit of natural texture as well as the low-carbon environmental protection characteristics. There are many studies on joints of modern timber structures, while the research on the connection of raw bamboo is relatively few. This paper summarizes the forms and research progress of bamboo structural joints in China as well as all over the world, in order to provide a reference for future research and engineering applications
