![Fig. 4. Schematics of the beam (adapted from [11]).](profile/Tobias-Laux/publication/364304242/figure/fig1/AS:11431281089114334@1665422396934/Schematics-of-the-beam-adapted-from-11_Q320.jpg)
A theoretical fracture model for predicting the splitting capacity of transversely loaded dowelled connections in timber was adapted to suit round bamboo. Existing experimental data obtained from a bespoke dowelled connection test for G. angustifolia (Guadua) bamboo was used to validate the model. It was found that the proposed theoretical model co...

The aim of the study was to create and verify a theoretical model for single-shear steel to bamboo nailed connections in natural bamboo. To this end, existing timber strength and fracture theories were used to model the brittle and ductile failure strength of the studied bamboo connection. Experimental tests of steel to bamboo nailed connection sub...

A sample of 17 specimens was used to experimentally assess the embedment strength parallel to fibres of natural, round Moso bamboo. The tests were run until the brittle failure (fracture) of the specimen occurred, following plastic deformation of bamboo. The experimentally obtained deformation gave an insight into the ductility of dowelled bamboo c...
An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the buckling behavior of 190 Guadua bamboo culms of various lengths. These were subjected to an axial compressive load until failure. The geometrical and physical properties of each culm were measured, as well as its compressive strength and load carrying capacity. The buckling reduction factor (ψ) –...
Three connection design properties (dowel embedment strength, slip modulus and screw withdrawal capacity) were determined for one species of bamboo (Guadua angustifolia Kunth) using experimental methods adopted from timber engineering. 151 embedment strength and slip modulus tests were undertaken using smooth dowels with diameters ranging from 3 to...
The study provides a solution for the refugee crisis by introducing a Sustainable, Economical, Smart Camp (SESC) for refugees. SESC is designed to promote refugees as a boost to the economy of the hosting country rather than a financial burden.
