unit 5 Bamboo.pdf
Bamboo is a versatile building material that is strong, renewable, and environmentally friendly. It can be used for structural and non-structural building elements like walls, floors, ceilings, trusses, and more. Bamboo is graded based on traits like straightness, taper, and nodes. Proper selection of mature bamboo with a minimum diameter and wall thickness is important. Foundations can include direct ground contact, rock footings, or incorporating bamboo into concrete. Floors and walls are constructed using bamboo panels, joints, and infill. While bamboo construction has benefits of affordability, sustainability, and cultural acceptability, it lacks natural durability and is susceptible to insects without treatment.
