Structural Analysis of Bamboo Wall Framed Structure – An Approach

Abstract

Structural applications of indigenous materials such as bamboo are considered as an integral part of the sustainable development. In the study, the author has tried to analyze bamboo wall framed structure using half strip bamboo anchored to a sheathing material. It has been modeled in STAAD Pro software and different load as- Dead Load, Live Load, Seismic Load, Wind load were applied on the frame. The material properties of bamboo were defined using the value of modulus of elasticity, Poisson’s Ratio, density, and shear modulus obtained from the tests conducted here in laboratory.

Enhancing Lighting Efficiency in Kost's Rooms by Utilizing Bamboo Panels

“…For the material chosen in this bamboo panel design according to the information I got from [8] , [14], [15] and the material available on site during workshop; Bamboo Petung that is renowned for its strength and reliability with an average heights between 15 -30 meters and average diameters between 8 to 20 cm. Also Bamboo Tali hitam that is prized for its flexibility and robustness with average heights between 8-22 meters and average diameters between 4-13 cm Also acknowledging that the usage of each type depends on the function itself according to [9], [11], [13] and the workshop material; for structural components both bamboo petun and bamboo tali hitam, for weaving components both bamboo petung and bamboo tali hitam and finally for ventilation using bamboo petung The bamboo's panel framework for the wall considering the load distribution according to [10]. Wall panels were constructed using freshly cut Apus bamboo, utilizing its high moisture content and flexible fibers for easy shaping.…”
