Glubam is a new construction material and glubam bolted joints have been developed in modern bamboo structures. To observe the performance of bolted joint, two major groups of glubam-single-bolted-joint specimens with double steel side plates are tested. Bearing strength and failure mode are analyzed and discussed. It is shown that specimens with tension parallel to bamboo fiber always yield by shearing out and showed higher bearing strength as well as better ductility, while specimens with tension perpendicular to bamboo fiber will fail by net tension. Results of bearing strength are evaluated by the 5% off-set method. At the end, equations obtained from test data and analysis about yielding strength of glubam bolted joint was obtained for following study and project design.
