“…These connections are favored for their ease of construction, yet they pose challenges such as insufficient joint strength and the risk of splitting or cracking when punching into bamboo culms [72,73]. Consequently, researchers have conducted experimental and theoretical studies to enhance the performance and widespread adoption of dowelled connections [24,27,48,54,60,78]. For instance, Masdar et al [24] established the minimum distance between bolts and the end of bamboo culms without nodes, crucial for designing bolted connections under realworld conditions.…”

“…Ramful [27] analyzed failure modes in bamboo bolt connections under tension, identifying shear-out failure as dominant due to bambooʹs high axial strength but weak radial and tangential strength. Additionally, Malkowska et al [78] derived equations to predict splitting capacity and provided insights into the mechanics of laterally loaded dowelled connections in bamboo, offering valuable guidance for designers [50]. This study aimed to enhance designers' confidence to implement dowelled bamboo connections in practice.…”

While bamboo's sustainability and impressive mechanical properties make it suitable for structural use, its application is hindered by challenges in connection systems. Bamboo's hollow, thin-walled nature, dimensional variations, and anisotropic properties complicate connection design. Despite numerous studies and proposed connection types, a consensus on preferred bamboo connections remains elusive. Ideal connections for raw bamboo structures should be robust, economical, practical, simple, and easy to assemble. This paper reviews 62 scientific papers from the Scopus database published between 2003 and 2024, along with additional relevant references. It identifies research gaps, recommending further studies on bamboo connections considering factors like species, harvest age, treatment type, and node location. Analysis of failure modes and long-term behavior is essential to anticipate and mitigate risks associated with bamboo connections, ensuring durability, and minimizing maintenance needs. Lastly, developing universally accepted standards and codes for bamboo and bamboo connections is crucial for widespread adoption in the construction industry.

While bamboo’s sustainability and impressive mechanical properties make it suitable for structural use, its application is hindered by challenges in connection systems. Bamboo’s hollow, thin-walled nature, dimensional variations, and anisotropic properties complicate connection design.

Ideal connections for raw bamboo structures should be robust, economical, practical, simple, and easy to assemble. This paper reviews 62 scientific papers from the Scopus database published between 2003 and 2024, along with additional relevant references.
