ABSTRACT

Bamboo is a low-carbon renewable biomass material with abundant resources and excellent wood properties. Engineering bamboo is made from round bamboo through cutting, cooking, carbonizing, drying, gluing, reorganization and other processes. It has stable size specifications and performance, breaking through the limitations of round bamboo in terms of cross-sectional size, shape, connection, etc., and can meet the needs of low-rise multi-story buildings. Application requirements of building structures. A comparative analysis of the current research status at home and abroad in the fields of engineering bamboo's material physical and mechanical properties, component stress performance, connection performance and structure, fire protection and durability performance was conducted, and the current demonstration application status and technical standard preparation of engineered bamboo structures were summarized. It was pointed out that Promoting application of engineered bamboo structures key technical issues that need to be resolved urgently in application and standard formulation.
