Mechanical properties of laminated bamboo lumber column under radial eccentric compression
Highlights Three typical failure modes were identified for LBL columns under radial eccentric compression. Lateral displacement curves for the LBL columns closely followed sine curves irrespective of the eccentricity. Load vs displacement curves showed high stiffness initially but gradually reduced with increasing load. Both the lateral and axial displacements were significantly influenced by the eccentricity ratio. An equation for calculating the radial eccentricity influencing coefficient ϕ e for LBL columns has been proposed.
Abstract A comprehensive experimental investigation on the mechanical properties of 35 laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) column specimens with a design dimension of 73mm×73mm×1000mm under radial eccentric compression in presented in this paper. A wide range of eccentricities was considered to carefully examine the failure modes in LBL columns due to interaction between compression and bending. Presence of natural defects such as bamboo joints and use of mechanical connectors to manufacture long columns, produced different failure modes. Key parameters such as lateral displacement and axial deformation at ultimate load, distribution of strains over cross-sections, ultimate load and the corresponding moment were recorded to understand the overall response of eccentrically loaded LBL columns. Typically, all displacements showed an increasing trend with an increase in eccentricity ratio e0/h, where e0 is the eccentricity and h is the depth of the considered cross-section. Regression analyses were carried out to identify influence of e0/h on the key mechanical parameters such as displacements and resistances of the LBL columns. Finally, a simplified technique has been proposed to predict the ultimate capacity of LBL columns under radial eccentric compression.
