“…Therefore, decreasing the slenderness ratio and increasing the diameter-thickness ratio are two effective methods to enhance the stability of bamboo columns and mitigate local buckling to improve the load capacity of original bamboo columns under axial compression. The regression method is analyzed to calculate the stability coefficient of original bamboo specimens with the same diameter-thickness ratio, as follows: Moreover, the stability coefficient of original bamboo specimens with different diameter-thickness ratios can be calculated by a similar approach considering the diameter-thickness ratio, as follows: (11)…”

“…The application of bamboo in buildings not only improves the surrounding natural environment during growth but also achieves low energy consumption during processing [5,6]. Compared with some common lumber materials [7,8], bamboo has a more prominent bending strength, tensile strength and compressive strength when used as structural components [9][10][11][12]. In addition, current advanced bamboo processing technologies make it easy to process them into composite materials with high strength and expected sizes.…”

Bamboo has been widely used as a load-bearing material in construction; however, there are limited studies on the stability of slender original bamboo columns. Based on the experimental investigation of thirty-nine original bamboo columns, parametric analyses were conducted to investigate the influence of the diameter–thickness ratio, cross-sectional area and slenderness ratio on the axial compression behavior of original bamboo columns. The test results indicate that the failure modes of the columns are substantially affected by the slenderness ratio and diameter–thickness ratio. For columns with the same diameter–thickness ratio, the ultimate bearing capacity was negatively correlated with the slenderness ratio, and the highest reduction rate for the load-bearing capacity caused by the slenderness ratio was 44.39%. Under the same slenderness ratio, when the diameter–thickness ratio increased by 18.75%, the ultimate bearing capacity increased by 82.65%. An excessive slenderness ratio may result in local buckling, leading to underutilization of the material strength when failure occurs and substantially reducing the load capacity of bamboo columns. Local buckling can be mitigated by decreasing the slenderness ratio and increasing the diameter–thickness ratio. According to the test results, the model predicting the compressive bearing capacity of the original bamboo column was proposed considering the slenderness ratio and diameter–thickness ratio, and it was indicated that the proposed model can provide satisfactory predictive results.

“…However, the serviceability limit of flexural members is determined by deformation rather than strength in most cases. The bamboo flexural members have the defects of insufficient bearing capacity, low section stiffness, and insufficient spanning capacity (Chen et al, 2020a;Chen et al, 2020b;Wei et al, 2020b), which is similar to the wood flexural members. To enhance the flexural performance, the wood-concrete composite structure was proposed.…”

To investigate the similarities and differences of mechanical behavior between the bamboo-concrete connections and the wood-concrete connections, thirty-six specimens were tested through push-out tests with the material type (bamboo or wood), concrete strength and dowel diameter as test parameters. In addition to the linear variable displacement transducer the digital image correlation was also used to obtain the slip distribution of the whole field of the specimens, which was conducive to the further detailed analysis of the slip distribution and a comprehensive understanding of the load-slip relationship. The results showed that the failure modes of the bamboo-concrete connections were similar to that of the wood-concrete connections, such as the concrete failure near the joint and the dowels bending in different degrees. The load-slip curves of the two kinds of connections were similar, which could be summarized as the elastic section, strengthening section and descending section. The shear stiffness and capacity of bamboo-concrete connections were higher than that of wood-concrete connections, and the shear capacity increased with the increase of dowel diameter and concrete strength. The slip distribution of the left and right sides of the specimen was basically identical. The load-transfer performance of the dowel was excellent. Finally, the prediction method of shear capacity and load-slip curve model of composite connections were proposed and verified to be effective.

“…Although the mechanical properties of various bamboo components including beams and columns have been investigated, [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] studies on the stress-strain model of bamboo materials have rarely been carried out. For columns, Li et al [39][40][41][42] and Chen et al 37 investigated the mechanical properties of bamboo scrimber columns under axial compression with different cross-section shapes and slenderness ratios, and the prediction model for the stability coefficient was proposed based on test results.…”

Glulam bamboo has been preliminarily explored for use as a structural building material, and its stress–strain model under axial loading has a fundamental role in the analysis of bamboo components. To study the tension and compression behaviour of glulam bamboo, the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo as two kinds of typical glulam bamboo materials were tested under axial loading. Their mechanical behaviour and failure modes were investigated. The results showed that the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo have similar failure modes. For tensile failure, bamboo fibres were ruptured with sawtooth failure surfaces shown as brittle failure; for compression failure, the two modes of compression are buckling and compression shear failure. The stress–strain relationship curves of the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo are also similar. The tensile stress–strain curves showed a linear relationship, and the compressive stress–strain curves can be divided into three stages: elastic, elastoplastic and post-yield. Based on the test results, the stress–strain model was proposed for glulam bamboo, in which a linear equation was used to describe the tensile stress–strain relationship and the Richard–Abbott model was employed to model the compressive stress–strain relationship. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental curves.
