The remarkable high strength-to-weight ratio of bamboo and the recent innovations and development of laminated bamboo products has enabled the potential for new larger and taller structural bamboo applications. However, there is little understanding of the behaviour and performance of bamboo structures during and after a fire. To date, bamboo has been used widely in low-rise constructions I am infinitely grateful with my amazing friends from the coffee, and beer club, Angela, Aaron, Juan Patricio, Ian, Luis, Sergio, Jaime, Andrea, Abed. I would not have completed this journey without your support and positive energy. They became like my family in Brisbane, and when I had to push uphill, they were always there to struggle with me, to motivate me, to make me grow, and make me laugh in the happiest and most difficult moments. My love and respect go to the UQ Fire family for their support, enlightening conversations, and diligent work.
