How is Bamboo Construction??? How can we construct bamboos??? How is the original Bamboo Construction???

Bamboo Based Material

Classification of Bamboo Construction

Bamboo-based Building Material

Bamboo Pole Bamboo Split Substitutive Laminated Bamboo Bamboo + Polymer Bamboo + Polymer + Timber Bamboo + Concrete Bamboo Construction Traditional/ Vernacular Bamboo Pole Bamboo Split Bamboo Woven Bamboo Rope Conventional Bamboo + Plaster Bamboo Pole

Modernized Conventional

Bamboo Split Bamboo + Plaster

Substitutive:

to replace other possible material with bamboo,

thus bamboo will be constructed to fit with other type of construction.

established structure

bamboo

Substitutive: Laminated Bamboo

established structure from timber laminated bamboo

Substitutive: Split Construction

established structure from steel bamboo split truss

Substitutive: Bamboo Reinforced Concrete

established steel reinforced concrete

bamboo reinforced concrete

Substitutive: Poles Construction mostly three dimensional frame avoid eccentricity in force transfer poles under tension or compression using steel connector

established space structure from metal

bamboo space frame

Convention: Conventional:

a set of unwritten rules, a set of agreed, stipulated or generally accepted standards, norms or criteria. the construction that come from the specific character of bamboo

Conventional Bamboo Construction: Traditional or Vernacular Modernized or Engineered Conventional

structures made by empirical builders

further development using scientific approach

Conventional: Traditional/ Vernacular Bamboo Poles Construction mostly consist of planar frames (two dimensional frame) mostly in one layer bamboo poles under compressive or bending stresses present of eccentricity in force transfer using fish-mouth, rope, plug-in, and positivefitting connection

Conventional: Traditional/ Vernacular Bamboo Splits/Woven Construction Plastered Bamboo Construction

relatively simple form plastered/ rendered with mud, lime or cow dung

Conventional: Modernized/ Engineered Bamboo Poles Construction two or three dimensional frames mostly in more than one layer poles under compressive or bending stresses present of eccentricity in force transfer using nut-bolts connector and fish-mouth connection

Conventional: Modernized/ Engineered Bamboo Splits/Woven Construction relatively complicated form mostly in experimental building

Plastered Bamboo Construction

plastered/ rendered with mortar with or without additional chicken wire combined with poles structure

Conclusion:
Pole Split
Bamboo-Concrete

Laminated

Substitutive

Bamboo-Plaster

Conventional

Traditional

Modernized

Rope
