Experimental Research on Basical Mechanical Properties of Bamboo Plywood

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanical properties of bamboo plywood. Seeking more sustainable materials to reducing the carbon impact onto our environment has put bamboo on the map as an alternative building material, especially in the regions such as China, Southern Asia, and South America, where the bamboo is abundant. The basical mechanical properties of the bamboo plywood were carefully tested and recorded to provide a first-hand database on the parameters of the compressive strengths and shear strengths of such material.It can provide theoretical reference for the application of bamboo plywood in practical engineering.
