Il bambù può essere davvero considerato un materiale da costruzione? Questo volume risponde esplorando le straordinarie potenzialità di questa risorsa naturale, definita da Oscar Hidalgo Lopez come “Il dono degli dèi”. Attraverso studi, analisi e testimonianze raccolte nel tempo, l’autore racconta una storia che intreccia innovazione e tradizione,...
The mechanical properties of bamboo are susceptible to degradation due to both physical and biological agents. Among the non-chemical treatments, we studied the influence of a short-time heat treatment, using an LPG-gas torch, on the mechanical properties of a bamboo (Phyllostachys viridiglaucescens) growing in Italy. The response was very encourag...
This paper deals with the linear buckling problem for inhomogeneous Euler–Bernoulli column having both mechanical and geometrical properties variable along its length. Four classes of longitudinally functionally graded material columns with variable cross-sections are considered. The solutions of the relevant differential equations are obtained in...
The paper discusses the restrictions the positive definite character of the strain energy imposes to the values of the Poisson's ratios in a linear elastic orthotropic constitutive law. By exploiting the reciprocity principle and the conservation of energy, non-trivial constraints arise, leading to a particularly expressive form of the domain of ex...
Il bambù è da sempre usato in alcune parti del mondo non solo come materiale per produrre oggetti, ma come vero e proprio materiale strutturale per case, passerelle pedonali, edifici di culto, padiglioni fieristici e numerosi tipi di costruzioni. Con la crescente necessità di ridurre le emissioni di gas serra per limitare il fenomeno del riscaldame...
High mechanical performance coupled with sustainability gives to bamboo a high potential to substitute conventional construction materials in various applications. In particular, there are countries in which this material has been used in construction for millennia and represents an asset, on the contrary, there are countries where there is still n...
This work represents the initial step of a more general project oriented to know the feasibility of engineered products made with Italian bamboo.
This paper presents the values of some physical and mechanical properties of bamboo culms grown in Italy and belonging to Phyllostachys Edulis and Phyllostachys Viridiglaucescens species. Specifically, the geometrical properties, the density, the moisture content, the compressive strength, the tensile strength, the bending strength and the bending...
In this thesis the results of compression, tensile and bending tests on Italian bamboo culms are discussed. The analyzed bamboo are of two species, namely Phyllostachys Edulis (MOSO) and Phyllostachys Viridiglaucescens. These tests are carried out following the rules of ISO 22156 and ISO 22157. The characteristics values of the compressive and flex...
In this paper an approximate analytical solution of linear buckling for tapered column with tubular cross section is presented. The thickness is constant along the column. The solution is derived in terms of Bessel functions. Numerical analysis are performed to validate the effectiveness of the solutions. It is shown that the presented approach can...
