In order to extend the application of bamboo-based products in the field of construction, this study reports on a preliminary experimental evaluation of the behavior of sheathing-to-framing connections comprised of bamboo oriented strand board (BOSB) and glued laminated bamboo (GLB) and the...

This paper describes the bending creep behavior of two types of bamboo-based products, bamboo-laminated veneer lumber (BLVL), and glued-laminated bamboo (GLB, also called Bamboo Glulam) at different stress levels for half a year and recovery for the same time. It was found that the stress level of...

This study presents the pull-out capacity of threaded steel glued into laminated bamboo under axial load. Two-component epoxy resin was used. Pull-out tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of edge distance, glue thickness, anchorage length, threaded steel rod diameter, and slenderness ratio...

Bamboo, as an important biomass raw material, has a very favorable prospect for Nature-based Solution. Here we provide a method to prepare bamboo-based lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNFs) and films with excellent impedance performances by p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) under mild condition. The...

Large span bamboo bundle laminated veneer lumbers (BLVLs) were prepared by combining the prepress densification process and the intermittent hot press process. Their mechanical performances of the intermittent hot joints and adjacent positions were also investigated. Based on this, a new type of...

In order to make better use of bamboo resources in industrial processes, it is necessary to understand its recalcitrant morphological stem structure and unique chemical composition. In the present work, microspectroscopic imaging approaches were used to reveal the heterogeneous distribution of...

This study has quantified basic wood density and various types of wood shrinkage in relation to initial spacing (or initial planting density) and tree growth based on a 48-year-old black spruce (Picea mariana) spacing trial in eastern Canada. A total of 139 sample trees were collected from four...

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis), an apt example of an anisotropic, functionally graded composite material, is the most important commercial bamboo species of China. This species has excellent mechanical properties due to its unique vascular bundle structure. This article examines the variation...

The research on the mechanism and evaluation method of wood acoustic vibration performances (AVP) is gradually rising. However, few studies on bamboo AVP were reported. In this paper, both wood and bamboo AVP were reviewed. A serials of quantitative evaluation methods of acoustic vibration...

The application of cellulose fibers with varieties of allomorphs is of much interest. However, the crystal structural changes of certain allomorphs during the wet chemistry process are often ignored. In this work, the recrystallization behavior of softwood pulp cellulose III_I back to cellulose Iβ...
