The application of bamboo in construction is briefly introduced in this chapter. The basic mechanical properties of bamboo under different loading directions are given. The compression and tensile stress–strain models in the bamboo fiber direction are reported. In terms of round bamboo, engineered bamboo, and hybrid bamboo structures, bamboo structures are introduced with various construction examples. The carbon emission of bamboo construction was also discussed, compared with other mainstream construction forms. These research results and construction practices validate that bamboo is a promising natural source that can be used as a sustainable construction material.
