An Empirical Model for Predicting the Mechanical Properties Degradation of Bamboo Bundle Laminated Veneer Lumber (BLVL) by Hygrothermal Aging Treatment
A research study was undertaken to investigate the mechanical performance of glulam beams reinforced by CFRP or bamboo. Local reinforcement is proposed in order to improve the flexural strength of glulam beams. The glulam beam is strengthened in tension...
This paper describes the development of creep models for glued laminated bamboo (GLB) using the time-temperature superposition principle (TTSP). Creep (15 min) and recovery (45 min) data were obtained at constant temperature levels ranging from 25 to 65C. The moisture...
Bamboo is an excellent eco-friendly construction material because of its high renewable rate, embodied energy, reduction of pollution, high strength-to-weight ratio, and low cost. However, the use of round bamboo is limited because of its variations in d...
Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) was subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatments that modified its microstructure and mechanical properties. THM treatment was applied to Guadua with the aim of tackling the difficulties in the fabrication of s...
Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) is a bamboo species native to South and Central America that has been widely used for structural applications in small and large scale buildings, bridges and temporary structures. Guadua remains a material for vernacula...
