Nowadays, bamboo as a readily available, inexpensive, renewable raw material is increasingly used in construction in several countries around the world. In this context, the use of bamboo culm for structural applications is one of the key concepts increasingly grown over the past few decades. This is motivated by the fact that regardless of being a rough-and-ready (low-tech) material, round bamboo culms are found to be easy to implement and capable of yielding architectural and structurally high-performing light-weight constructions and building designs. In this study, we aim to review design approaches for round bamboo structures, to provide a recent state-of-the-art of the relevant scientific and technical literature.

Abstract
Nowadays, bamboo as a readily available, inexpensive, renewable raw material is increasingly used in construction in several countries around the world. In this context, the use of bamboo culm for structural applications is one of the key concepts increasingly grown over the past few decades. This is motivated by the fact that regardless of being a rough-and-ready (low-tech) material, round bamboo culms are found to be easy to implement and capable of yielding architectural and structurally high-performing light-weight constructions and building designs. In this study, we aim to review design approaches for round bamboo structures, to provide a recent state-of-the-art of the relevant scientific and technical literature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
