Abstract: Glued-in rod connections (GIRc) in timber or bamboo joints are characterized by high stiffness, strength, and aesthetic appeal. In this study, pullout tests were conducted on 42 specimens of GIRc in side-pressure laminated ...

Abstract: To promote the application of bamboo scrimber (BS) in the construction field, it is necessary to study the fracture properties concerning its structural design and reliability analysis. In this paper, the Mode I fracture ...

Abstract: This paper presents an adjoint optimization technique and its application to the design of a transonic turbine cascade. Capable of a quick and exact sensitivity analysis and using little ...

Abstract: Laminated bamboo lumber (LBL) is an engineered bamboo with consistent and reliable mechanical properties that can be utilized in structural applications. Experimental studies showed that LBL columns perform well under ...

Abstract: To reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry, more and more researchers have paid attention to engineered bamboo, a natural and green material. This research focused on laminated flattened-bamboo (LFB), a new ...

Abstract: The slenderness ratio is one of the main influencing factors for columns. It is interesting to study how this factor influences the mechanical properties of parallel bamboo strand lumber (PBSL) columns. Based on this ...

Abstract: The size effect on the axial compressive performance of laminated bamboo lumber is studied through compression tests on three groups of short columns with different heights and section sizes. The failure modes, bearing ...
