Bio-inspired Design with Bamboo
This chapter intends to present general information about bamboo; the fast growing grass with excellent mechanical properties. The potential of this material for Architecture and Construction is discussed. Information concerning how to obtain the plant and select appropriate culms/stems, to be employed for building is explored. Physical properties as revealed through research in Brazil are also presented. As for bamboo’s mechanical properties; compressive, tensile, and shear strength parallel to the fibers are presented along with numerical values for various species. Specific applications for bamboo, such as concrete reinforcement are also presented. And finally, the potential of bamboo vessel impregnation with polymeric resins is described.
