Description
Bamboo is gaining attention as a potential building material in the pursuit of a CO2-neutral society, thanks to its rapid maturation and excellent mechanical properties. However, there is currently a lack of systematic understanding of using bamboo as a modern industrial material.
This book addresses this knowledge gap by describing a new category of structural systems constructed with engineered bamboo, known as GluBam. It provides an analogy between GluBam and steel structures, and outlines design guidelines based on state-of-the-art research. The book also explores the benefits of using bamboo in sustainable development, particularly as an alternative to wood.
Written by Professor Yan Xiao, a leading expert in civil engineering, this book is a valuable resource for those interested in modern bamboo structures and their potential to promote carbon neutrality and sustainability.
