Experimental Study on Glued Bamboo Beam

Abstract:

This paper illustrates the experimental study on the glued bamboo beam. The beams are characterized by the brittle tensile damage. The elastic modulus for both the compression and the tension of the glued bamboo are equal to each other. The average strain for the cross-section of the glued bamboo beam is linear distribution during the test process. Thus the plane cross-section assumption can be used for calculating the glued bamboo beam when designing. All the deflections for the ultimate load point are more than 60 mm and far bigger than the value 8.4mm (L/250) which is the maximum allowable deflection required by the Chinese wood structure design specification.
