Mechanical properties of laminated bamboo designed for curvature

Laminated bamboo is growing in potential as a novel construction material due to the need to lower the carbon impact of the built environment. The material utilises raw bamboo in an engineered composite to create a standardised prismatic section. The present study investigated the mechanical properties, as well as the performance under sustained load, of laminated bamboo sections which had undergone a secondary glue laminating process to...
