“…Glulams using other wood species than spruce, such as beech, are appearing on the market in greater numbers, along with mixtures of beech and spruce (Dill-Langer and Aicher 2014). Although technically not a wood species, glue-laminated bamboo, or GluBam, is an attempt to utilize the fast-growing and abundant quantities of bamboo for large-scale, structural applications (Xiao et al 2014) similar to glulam. This effort to diversify the species used for EWPs is driven by a desire to exploit a larger variety of forest stock and capitalize on more forest resources that have so far avoided exploitation.…”

I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to a large number of people that have contributed -directly and indirectly, knowingly and unknowingly -to this thesis. There is no chance that I can list them all here, so I must only briefly summarize. Beginning with Professor Manuel Baez and Dr. Thomas Mical at Carleton University for pushing me beyond my intellectual boundaries and encouraging me to go further. To Eric Schlange and Aldis Sipolins for all the adventures and escapades during those formative years. To my friends at the Bartlett -particularly my friends in Unit 23 without whom that time would have not been as fun. To my tutors there -Professor Bob Sheil, Emmanuel Vercruysse, and Kate Davies -for revealing an entirely new path in my architectural wanderings. To my colleagues in teaching -Carlos Jimenez, Thomas Pearce, Mara Kanthanak, and Sarah Firth -for the fun, energy, and endless curiosity. To Matthew Shaw and William Trossell at ScanLAB Projects for taking me in and letting me take part in so many adventures in so many strange places. To my colleagues at ScanLAB -

“…14 Bamboo and composite biomaterials can generate the development of newly productive chains in low-embodied carbon industrial arrangements supported by ecological processes. 15 Technical advances on bamboo as a building material can be observed in the Colombian architecture, 16 in the Glubam structures, 17 in the bridges constructed in the South American continent 18 and in the Balinese artistic roofs, 19 among others. Research on bio-based bamboo structures developed in Brazil introduced a structural system applying flexible connections 20,21 as presented in Figure 1.…”

Self-supporting bamboo structures are ultralight architectural modules applying bamboo round poles, tensile pantographic grids and textile membranes. The structural system applies articulated flexible joints in polyester ropes and locking bio-composite bandage rings, keeping bamboo bars free of torsion stresses. An experimental 1:3 scale prototype and a full-scale structure were fabricated to make previsions about the physical and mechanical behavior of the structure. The experimental results were verified applying a numerical model for the structure. In turn, the flexible joints were analyzed theoretically. The computer model was analyzed using the finite element SAP2000 program. The numerical results were in close agreement with the experimental results specifically for the structural behavior of the flexible joints.

“…Investigation on the mechanical properties of laminated bamboo composites contributes a lot to its application in civil engineering filed (Verma and Chariar, 2012; Wei et al, 2011; Xiao et al, 2014; Zhou et al, 2018). However, it is well-known that susceptibility to longitudinal cracks is one of the major weaknesses of laminated composites (Gdoutos, 2005).…”

Mode-I interlaminar fracture behavior of laminated bamboo composites was characterized by mechanical testing in a bonded double cantilever beam configuration. No obvious fiber bridging was observed during the test. At the front of crack tip, nonlinear response was relatively small and negligible. The failure mode of laminated bamboo composites was mainly governed by brittle fracture. Mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness ([Formula: see text]) calculated using the modified beam theory was 501.08 J/m2. Besides, numerical simulation combined with cohesive elements was used to simulate the mode-I interlaminar fracture behavior. A direct method for the determination of cohesive parameters without recourse to iterative fitting was presented in detail. The applicability and effectiveness of this method for interpretation of the fracture behavior of laminated bamboo composites were verified by comparing numerical predictions with experimental results.
