Abstract:
Bamboo has been significantly and rapidly used to build temporal and permanent structures since time immemorial. However, this renewable natural material has a low bearing capacity, limiting its application to structures under light loads. Therefore, this research was carried out to determine an innovative scheme capable of enhancing bamboo's load-bearing by filling the cavity with cement mortar. Furthermore, a study was carried out to experiment flexural load carrying capacity and the deflection of mortar-filled structural bamboo by considering the diameter and node parameters. A total of 12 specimens were examined using a four-point bending protocol. The result showed the ultimate flexural load carrying capacity of mortar-filled bamboo specimens are higher than those of the conventional bamboo specimens. Specifically, mortar filled bamboo specimen with a diameter of 70 mm was significantly better, 41.10 and 47.06%, as compared than the conventional bamboo in terms of its flexural load carrying capacity for specimen without and with nodes, respectively. Increases in flexural load carrying capacity were also observed for the mortar-filled bamboo specimens having 80 and 90 mm diameter and these observed increases were recorded as 104.55 and 112.00%, and 48.72 and 60.74%, respectively for specimen without and with nodes. Furthermore, the deflection of mortar-filled bamboo elements are substantially greater than those of conventional. Finally, the advantages of the bamboo diameter and bamboo nodes on the flexural load carrying capacity indicated that these essential findings need to be carefully considered in designing structural elements for both mortar-filled and conventional bamboos.

Abstract:
Bamboo is a pipe produced by solar energy. It is a plant of the graminae family which grows up all over tropical and part of subtropical regions of the world in more than 1250 species. High biomass production, high mechanical resistance, low specific weight and easy workability has done of bamboo a promise to future generations in relationship to sustainable construction systems. Bamboos of the Phyllostachys pubescens species are one of the most resistant and straight axis bamboos, used in China as material construction and other applications, as paper and fabrics. They are the most commercial bamboos of China and its forests covers 5,6 millions of hectare in that country. This exotic species is met on small plantations in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo states of Brazil. Many characteristics turns bamboo a smart structural element: high resistance/weight ratio; natural nodes spaced along the culm which avoids local buckling and graded distribution of the fibers from inner to outer side of the thickness wall. So, the application of bamboos as tensile structures supports is a coherent choice since these modern tents characterize a lightweight architecture. Some structural bamboos can attain even more than 15 meters long with 10 cm mean diameter. To increase the load capacity of this slender bar and make feasible bamboo use as masts for tensile structures, an hybrid mast using bamboo as axis and 4 steel cables along of was designed and tested in the Structural System Laboratory LASE, and Structures Experimental Analysis Laboratory LAEES, respectively. In this paper it will be presented the results of the mechanical tests for 2 different masts with 6 meters long. Both masts have the same design but important differences which will be discussed in the paper.

Abstract:
A series of quasi-static and dynamic tests on bamboo-based honeycomb and bamboo-reinforced foam structures were carried out to investigate their energy absorbing characteristics and the related failure modes. Here, the tube damage shows the typical buckling (bulging) and top surface splitting failure. The results on the individual tubes show that the energy absorbing capacity increases as the diameter-to-thickness ratio decreases. Simple analytical models were also developed to predict the peak load and the corresponding displacement, with reasonably good correlation to the experimental results, in spite of the inherent variability of the bamboo tubes. It was found that different dynamic responses of the individual bamboo tubes and grouped bamboo tubes in the honeycomb cores affect their energy absorbing capabilities. The composite structure made from bamboo and foam shows that the embedded tube exhibits a higher energy absorption capacity than the sum of the individual foam and bamboo, due to the constraint offered by the foam.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Hollow cylindrical structures are susceptible to local buckling because they flatten and significantly reduce their stiffness when they bend. Therefore, many previous studies aimed to improve the strength of pipelines and building structures were conducted. Our research group has focused on bamboo and has theoretically proven that stiffness anisotropy caused by bamboo's unique nodes and vascular bundles enhances the stiffness of cylindrical structures. In this study, to investigate this analytically, we carried out a finite-element analysis and succeeded in deriving a new dimensionless parameter that the stiffening effect of an anisotropic consideration. This result is applicable to a wide range of cylindrical structures, from thin-walled to thick-walled, and it is expected that bamboo-inspired bionic designs will be proposed in the future.

Abstract:
Compositions with different pipe segments for constructing structural columns were investigated. In this article there is shown a column type composed of five parallel bamboo bars, connected by screws 16 mm and 13 mm in diameter. Compression tests instrumented with displacement transducers are associated with numerical modeling analysis to describe the column load capacity, from the general criteria of dimensioning. The chosen Bamboos are from the species Phyllostachys pubescens due to its favorable characteristics to produce structures and their common use in China, Brazil and other countries of temperate zones. In this proposal, the load capacity is considerably increased and lateral displacements are insignificant compared to the bamboo tested separately. More usual columns 3 and 4 meters long were modeled and presented the load limits of use for these types of structures. Other dimensions of columns can be calculated by the same system, presenting great design opportunities in the construction of the architecture and built spaces. This article shows a great advantage in using columns with bamboo bars compared to other materials used in the architecture, with guarantee and good indexes of security.

Abstract:
In this study, the effects of the addition of Activated carbon powder (ACP), Polyacrylonitrile nanofiber web (PAN), application of Plasma treatment (P), and the number of treatment layers on thermal insulation and sound absorption properties of fibrous structures have been examined and compared to each other. Bamboo and E-glass fibers have been used to produce fibrous layered structures. E-glass-based fibrous structures had slightly higher thermal resistance than that of bamboo fiber-based fibrous structures. However, sound absorption of bamboo-based fibrous layered structures was higher than that of E-glass fiber-based fibrous layered structures. The results revealed that plasma treatment, nanofiber web application, and activated carbon powder insertion increased the thermal resistance of fibrous layered structures made of bamboo fiber and E-glass fiber. In particular, the plasma treatment on three layers provided the highest thermal resistance for the E-glass fiber fibrous layered structure, however, PAN nanofiber application between three layers resulted in the highest thermal resistance for the bamboo fiber fibrous layered structure. Concerning sound absorption, the PAN nanofiber web provided the highest improvement for both the bamboo fiber-based layered structures and the E-glass-based layered structures.

Abstract:
Considering the structure type and load feature of vertical lifting tridimensional parking structures are similar to those of bamboo, a new structure arrangement style of tridimensional parking structure is presented, that is to set hoop-layers like bamboo knots at its proper height, according to the imitating bamboo principle that any two adjacent hoop-layers have equal stability and lateral displacement. The static and stability property of imitating bamboo structure and non-imitating bamboo structures is studied. It is shown that the lateral displacement of imitating bamboo structure is constrained effectively and the storey relative lateral displacement becomes smaller and more uniformly distributed; additionally, the internal force mutation of columns is relatively moderate and resisting overturning ability of structures is enhanced; moreover, the overall stability of structures controlled by equivalent short columns results in the great improvement of stability bearing capacity. All above verifies the rationality of the imitating bamboo principle.

Abstract:
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants and has mechanical properties similar to timber. The main reasons for the popularity of bamboo in construction can be attributed to its low cost, local availability, and adequacy of simple, local tools, and skills for fabrication. Application of bamboo in construction is, however, normally limited to low-cost housing and temporary structures due to several factors including irregular shapes, hollow circular cross sections, and durability issues. This report presents the results of an investigation into production of an engineered bamboo lumber product. Bamboo culms were cut into smaller strands and were re-constituted into rectangular sections by gluing and pressing at 140 °C to 145 °C. This approach overcomes the presence of the inherent hollow core and randomizes the inter-nodes and other growth characteristics found in bamboo. The reconstituted bamboo strand lumber (RBSL) was developed using crushed Bambusa bambos species and phenol formaldehyde resin. The physical and mechanical properties of reconstituted bamboo strand lumber were evaluated as per IS 1734 (1983). From the results it was found that the BSL can be used as an alternate to timber to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for building applications that will effectively transform the world.

Nesta dissertação foram desenvolvidos elementos estruturais passíveis de industrialização, utilizando o bambu como matéria prima principal, dando prosseguimento às pesquisas desenvolvidas pelo grupo de Materiais e Tecnologias Não Convencionais nesta Instituição, desde o final da década de 1970. Foram elaborados nós em bambu laminado contraplacado e ponteiras em material compósito polimérico, manufaturado com resíduo particulado proveniente da laminação do bambu Dendrocalamus giganteus. Foram ainda estudados colmos da espécie Phyllostachys aurea reforçados por toda a sua extensão com sisal trefilado embebido em poliéster. Estes componentes são destinados fundamentalmente à construção de treliças espaciais, retilíneas ou arqueadas, do tipo grelha em múltiplas camadas, aliando sustentabilidade e variabilidade formal para projetos de coberturas. Mediante pequenas adaptações, estes elementos podem ainda encontrar uso em outros tipos de estrutura como domos geodésicos, tensegritys e treliças planas, de caráter temporário ou permanente. A partir da análise experimental de materiais e componentes e de dados obtidos em literatura específica estudaram-se, os esforços solicitantes e deslocamentos desenvolvidos em diferentes geometrias de estruturas, via modelagem em programa comercial de elementos finitos, obtendo-se vãos livres de até 12m e áreas cobertas sobre 4 apoios com capitéis de até 324 metros quadrados com vão livre de 9m e balanços de 4,5m, elaboradas utilizando estes elementos. Os procedimentos desenvolvidos foram satisfatórios, permitindo a execução de elementos passíveis de industrialização e estocagem, de aplicação versátil e com acabamento variado, favorecendo a convencionalização do uso do bambu como material de construção.
The research on non conventional materials and technologies has been carried out at the Civil Engineering Department of PUC-Rio since 1979, in order to stimulate its use in civil construction, reducing the pollution and the energy consumption provoked by industrialized materials such as steel and cement. To disseminate the application of the non-conventional materials and technologies (NOCMAT) in a very large scale, it is necessary to develop industrial methods to process them, ensuring high production with quality and durability. As a continuation of this line of research, the present study is concerned with the development of structural elements designed for space structures, using bamboo as the main material. For this purpose the bamboo Dendrocalamus giganteus, has been selected to prepare laminated composite for the joints. In turn, using its plaining residuals as an addition to a polyester matrix composite. This was molded as a conical capped connection designed and produced to provide safe links between the joints and the bar of the space truss elements. For the latter the Phyllostachys aurea bamboo transversally reinforced with a polyester treated sisal string along its entire length. These components were used to assemble plain or arched multiple layers space structures, binding sustainability and formal freedom to roof structures design. The load-displacement for different structural geometries were evaluated, using a commercial FEM software, based on the experimental data from this work and the available literature, presented 12m maximum free spans and 324 square meters covered area supported by four columns. The developed procedures were satisfactory, allowing the production of industrial processed elements, easy storage, different finishing and versatile application.

O potencial de autoconstrução de estruturas adaptáveis de bambu é o foco deste trabalho que visa ampliar a ótica do design como método projetual com ênfase no processo e não no produto final e como produtor de significados, podendo gerar autonomia de grupos em uma produção local pautada na educação ambiental/sustentabilidade. A adaptabilidade destas estruturas é um conceito central onde o objeto e o seu processo construtivo é determinado pelas condições locais de material, mão de obra e demanda de uso. O campo do design se estabeleceu no Brasil de acordo com a ótica do desenho industrial concebido nos países desenvolvidos que prioriza a fabricação, distribuição e comercialização dos objetos em grande escala. Neste contexto a atividade projetual deixa de focar no ser humano para se dedicar ao consumo em massa. Acreditamos que por meio do design é possível formar cidadãos conscientes da problemática ambiental planetária conduzindo-os através de metodologias participativas desenvolvidas no LILD PUC-Rio. O meio acadêmico (universidades e escolas) se apresenta como contexto geográfico favorável para aplicação destas metodologias que se baseiam na autonomia de grupos para a produção de objetos utilitários localmente. A esfera local/ regional é o ponto de partida para a concepção do design do objeto, determinando recursos materiais disponíveis, demandas de uso e aspectos culturais. Destacamos a metodologia de Técnicas & Convivência onde os professores-técnicos orientam os alunos-voluntários na concepção, construção e uso das estruturas adaptáveis de bambu em diversas aplicações. Neste processo os voluntários são coautores e são levados a pensar o objeto a partir de seu ciclo de vida – concepção, fabricação, uso, manutenção e descarte/pós-uso. O bambu representa um material acessível, de grande resistência com versatilidade para ser aplicado em diversos usos e é explorado aqui para fins estruturais. A abordagem transdisciplinar envolvendo os campos do design, arquitetura, engenharia e geografia nos leva a uma analise complexa do processo construtivo e do objeto final, contextualizando a produção no espaço. Em estudos de campo no Brasil e nos EUA concluímos que esta ótica de design com base na produção em esfera local/regional pautada na educação ambiental/sustentabilidade, tem grande acessibilidade e pode ser potencializada a partir da colaboração transdisciplinar para outros usos na sociedade, seja com foco na educação, na autonomia produtiva ou no uso diversificado das estruturas adaptáveis de bambu.
The self-building potential of adaptable bamboo structures is the focus of this work that is aiming to enlarge the concept of design as a projetual method with emphasis on the process rather than the end product and as a producer of meanings, which can generate autonomy groups in a local production based in the environmental education / sustainability. The adaptability of these structures is a central concept where the object and its constructive process is determined by local conditions of material, labor and demand of use. The design field was established in Brazil in accordance with the perspective of industrial design in developed countries that prioritizes the production, distribution and marketing of large-scale objects. In this context the projetual activity fails to focus on the human being necessities to devote to mass consumption. We believe that through the design is possible to form citizens aware of global environmental issues leading them through participatory methodologies developed in LILD PUC-Rio. The academia (universities and schools) is presented as favorable geographic context for the application of these methodologies that are based on the autonomy of groups for the production of utilitarian objects locally. The local / regional level is the starting point for the design of object design, determining material resources available, use, social demands and cultural aspects. We are highlighting the methodology of Techniques & Coexistence where technicians-teachers guide the students-volunteers in the design, construction and use of adaptable bamboo structures in various applications. In this process the volunteers are co-authors and are led to think the object starting from his lifecycle - design, manufacture, use, maintenance and disposal / post-use. Bamboo is an accessible material; high strength with versatility to be applied to various uses and is explored here for structural purposes. The transdisciplinary approach involving the fields of design, architecture, engineering and geography leads to a complex analysis of the construction process and the final object, contextualizing the production space. In field studies in Brazil and the United States we concluded that this concept of design based in the local/regional production lined in the environmental education / sustainability, has great accessibility and can be enhanced from the transdisciplinary collaboration to other uses in society and is focusing on education, productive autonomy or diversified use of adaptable structures of bamboo.

Abstract:
In questa tesi vengono mostrati i risultati delle prove di compressione, trazione e flessione effettuate su culmi di bambù di provenienza italiana. Le specie analizzate sono due e sono la Phyllostachys Edulis (MOSO) e la Phyllostachys Viridiglaucescens. Le prove sono state effettuate seguendo le norme ISO 22156 e ISO 22157, le uniche norme internazionali relative al bambù strutturale. Dai risultati ottenuti, sono stati successivamente definiti i valori caratteristici di resistenza a compressione e flessione dei culmi delle due specie italiane analizzate. Inoltre, è stato ideato e testato in laboratorio un nuovo e versatile collegamento per le strutture in bambù. Il collegamento, realizzato mediante un cilindro in legno solidarizzato con viti autofilettanti, è stato progettato in modo tale da essere prontamente impiegabile sia per la realizzazione di capriate sia per le strutture reticolari spaziali. La scelta di questa tipologia di collegamento è stata motivata da due aspetti principali. Il primo aspetto è che l’utilizzo di viti autofilettanti non richiede particolari capacità da parte del costruttore. Il secondo aspetto risiede nel fatto che per il fissaggio delle viti è richiesto un preliminare foro accomodante, il quale garantisce l’integrità del culmo durante l’avvitamento, evitando così spaccature longitudinali della canna di bambù. Nella seconda parte della tesi viene trattato il problema dell’instabilità lineare (linear buckling) per le aste sottoposte a sforzi di compressione, con la particolarità che la rigidezza flessionale sia variabile lungo l’asse longitudinale, caratteristica peculiare dei culmi di bambù. Primariamente viene esposta una breve introduzione storica del problema e, successivamente, viene proposto un metodo per la determinazione della soluzione approssimata in forma chiusa dell’equazione differenziale che regola il problema. Il metodo consiste nel rappresentare l’effettiva rigidezza flessionale, descritta da un polinomio di quinto grado, con una funzione lineare. Questo metodo permette altresì di valutare il carico critico euleriano attraverso una semplice formula, risultando così agevole per scopi professionali. Il metodo proposto, inoltre, permette di valutare approssimativamente in forma chiusa la deformata trasversale delle aste di bambù sottoposte a carico assiale eccentrico e in presenza di imperfezioni.
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 flexural strength of Italian bamboo culms are determined. A new and versatile connector for bamboo structures is developed and tested to evaluate its effectiveness. This connector is realized by wood parts and screws and it is appropriate for constructing trusses and space frames. The use of the screws to connect wood and bamboo is due to two main aspects. First, the screws are easy to use and no particular skill is needed. Second, no splitting arises along the culm since a preliminary drilling is needed to introduce the screw. In the second part of the thesis, the linear buckling problem of non-uniform columns is treated. Firstly, a brief overview of the history of the linear buckling is described. Since bamboo culms present non-uniform flexural stiffness along the length, an approach to evaluate the approximate analytical solution of the governing equation is presented. This method can calculate the critical load in a simple way, directly accessible to the designers. The proposed method gives a closed-form estimate of the bamboo column deflection, subjected to an eccentric axial load and initial curvature (crookedness).

Abstract:
Today’s environmental concerns have led a renewed search in industry to find new sustainable materials to replace non-renewable resources. President Barack Obama also quoted in the recent 2012 Presidential Debate “that there is a need to build the energy sources of the future and invest in solar, wind, and bio-fuels.” Bio-composites are believed to be the future and the new substitute for non-renewable resources. Bio-composites are similar to composites in that they are made up of two constituent materials; however the main difference is that bio-composites are made from natural fibers and a biopolymer matrix. This research investigates the buckling behavior of bamboo and will analyze and determine the slender ratio that will induce buckling when bamboo is used as a column. Along with the investigation of the bamboo under buckling, this study will also show the potential of bio-composites to replace non-renewable resources in industry through experimental and numerical analysis. However, in order to study the buckling behavior of the bamboo, the mechanical characteristics of the bamboo and optimal curing treatment first had to be established. This is because, in order for bamboo to acquire proper strength characteristics, the bamboo must first be treated. Due to the scarcity of bamboo material in the lab, the obtainment of the mechanical properties of the bamboo as well as the optimal curing treatment was done in collaboration with Jay Lopez. In order for bamboo to acquire proper strength characteristics, the bamboo must be treated. In the first study, a total of four different types of natural treatments were analyzed to optimize the mechanical characteristics of bamboo. To assess each curing method, tensile and compression tests were performed to obtain the mechanical properties. Due to each bamboo culm having different thicknesses and cross sections, the specific strength property is used to normalize the data and allow for easy comparison and assessing of each curing method equally. The specific strength parameter is defined as the ultimate stress divided by the density of the material. These curing treatments consisted of four thermo-treatments, three different percentages of salt treatments, one lime treatment, and one oil treatment. The thermo-treatments consisted of heating the bamboo internodes in an autoclave with no pressure at 150oF, 180°F, 200°F, and 220°F. The experimental results of the thermo-treatments determined that bamboo obtains higher mechanical properties as well as reduced weight when heated at higher temperatures. This is explained by the increasing bound water extracted from the bamboo material at higher temperatures. In addition to finding the optimal heat treatment, the internodes of bamboo were soaked in natural additives that included a 3%, 6%, and 9% Instant Ocean sea salt solution, a Bonide hydrated lime solution, and a Kirkland canola oil solution for approximately five days and then heat treated at the optimal temperature of 220°F. The experimental results showed that all of the different additives had a significant effect on the mechanical properties. After determining the mechanical properties of each curing method, the results were then analyzed through a trade study. The trade study parameters consisted of weight-drop of the material, the specific strength, and the ultimate stress for both compression and tension. Each parameter of the trade study is kept unbiased as the weighting of each parameter is set equal to each other. The results of the trade study indicated that the 3% salt solution was the optimal curing treatment, yielding a higher specific strength value for both compression and tension, along with a significantly lower weight-drop after curing. After we came up with the optimal treatment, the buckling behavior of bamboo was investigated. The buckling analysis was investigated to determine at what slenderness ratio the bamboo would buckle when used as a column. A total of seven cases were investigated using different lengths, that ranged from 1.5” to 10”. Through experimental results, it was determined that a slenderness ratio above approximately 34.7 would induce global buckling to the bamboo column. The last investigation of this study consisted of building a small prototype wall structure using bio-composites. The prototype wall structure was manufactured using a combination of bamboo and a bi-directional woven hemp fabric. The dimensions of the prototype were 15.13” long and 7.75” tall. The wall structure was tested under compression in the Aerospace Structures/Composites Lab and the Architectural Engineering Department’s high bay laboratory. The results of the experimental test on the wall showed great potential for bio-composites, as the structure withstood a force of 46,800 pounds. A numerical analysis technique was also employed through the finite element method using the Abaqus software. The purpose of the finite element method was to validate the experimental results by comparing the buckling behavior of the tests. The numerical analysis showed very good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract:
Global awareness and preservation have spurred increasing interest in utilizing environmentally friendly materials for high-performance structural applications. Biocomposites pose an appealing solution to this issue and are characterized by their sustainable lifecycles, biodegradable qualities, light weight, remarkable strength, and exceptional stiffness. Many of these structural qualities are found in applications that exhibit flexural loading conditions, and this study focuses on improving the bending performance of engineered biocomposite structures. The current application of biocomposites is increasing rapidly, so this expanding research explores other natural constituent materials for biocomposite structures under flexural loading. The renewable material investigated in this study was experimentally and numerically validated by optimizing the mechanical characteristics of bamboo fibers in biocomposite structures under flexural loading conditions through various thermal and organic chemical treatment methods. Therefore, bending performance of a biocomposite truss and I-beam are analyzed to demonstrate the benefits of utilizing optimally treated bamboos in their design. To accomplish this goal, the first task consisted of treating bamboos by thermal and chemical means to determine the resulting effects on the compressive and tensile mechanical properties through experimental testing. Results indicated a significant improvement in strength, stiffness, and weight reduction. An extensive analysis determined the optimal treatment method that was utilized for flexural loading conditions. The second task entailed studying the flexural behavior of the optimally treated bamboo in two geometric configurations, a hollow cylinder and veneer strip, to determine the resultant properties for the truss and I-beam structure. The effect of node location on flexural performance was also studied to establish design guidelines for the applied structures. Bending tests indicated that node location affects the strength and stiffness of the hollow cylindrical configuration but has minimal effects on the veneer strip. Observations discovered by this study were employed into the designs of the applied structures that yielded excellent mechanical performance through flexural testing. The final task required conducting a finite element analysis in Abaqus/CAE on the performance of each structural application to validate experimental results. A conclusive analysis revealed good agreement between the numerical method and experimental result.

Abstract:
O foco desta pesquisa é o estudo do desempenho de colmos de bambu em estruturas de cobertura. A arquitetura do século XXI precisa de novos modelos de produção e novos materiais para possibilitar o desenvolvimento sustentável do planeta. O bambu é um material renovável, com custos de produção baixo, pegada ecológica positiva e de qualidade física excelente; mas existe um desconhecimento bastante generalizado sobre o seu uso na construção civil. Esta lacuna é ainda maior quando se procura entender seu comportamento estrutural ao longo do tempo. Entre os vários requisitos para avaliar o desempenho do material, quando é o elemento portante de uma construção, destacam-se dois que são essenciais: a estabilidade e a durabilidade. Neste trabalho procura-se, em primeiro lugar, compreender o comportamento físico-mecânico do material na composição microscópica e macroscópica para delimitar sua segurança estrutural, e em segundo lugar, examinar aqueles processos que, desde o crescimento da planta até à sua utilização em obra, determinam a vida útil do material. São também analisadas as práticas construtivas e ações de projeto que condicionam transversalmente estas duas exigências de desempenho, junto com um levantamento de estudos de caso que visa criar novos critérios de design de estruturas e soluções construtivas. Esta pesquisa procura expor os pontos fortes e fracos da atual construção com bambu, para que os primeiros sejam potencializados e os segundos sejam corrigidos.
The focus of this research is the study of the performance of bamboo in coverage structures. The architecture of the 21st century needs new production models and new materials to enable the sustainable development of the planet. Bamboo is a renewable material, with low production costs, positive ecological footprint and excellent physical-mechanical properties; but there is a rather general lack of knowledge about its use in civil construction. This gap is even greater when one tries to understand its structural behaviour over time. Among the various requirements to evaluate the performance of the material, when it is the structural element in a construction, two that stand out are essential: stability and durability. In this work, the understanding of the physical and mechanical behaviour of the material in the microscopic and macroscopic composition is sought first to delimit its structural safety, and secondly, examining the processes that, since the plants\'s growth until its usage in work, determine the useful life of the material. It is also analyzed the constructive practices and project actions that condition transversally these two performance requirements, along with a survey of case studies that aim to create new criteria of structure design and building solutions. This research seeks to export the strengths and weaknesses of the current construction with bamboo, so the first may be potentialized and the latter corrected.

Abstract:
PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Até hoje a maioria das construções empregam técnicas materiais e processos inadequados, resultando em enorme perda de energia e pouco ganho na relação custo/benefício. A grande maioria das pessoas envolvidas com problemas de construção não se conscientizou ainda do fato que construímos de maneira errada, consumindo materiais e energia em excesso em relação aos resultados obtidos. Ao longo de toda a história da construção conhecida, o homem se serviu da força da Gravidade para conseguir a estabilidade das suas estruturas. Nas grandes obras antigas e atuais os materiais empregados: pedra, tijolo, ferro, cimento são de pouca eficácia construtiva quando consideramos a relação resistência/peso. Tomando por base as teorias e experiências com a técnica tensegrity de se montar estruturas, desenvolvidas por Keneth Snelson e Richard Buckminster Fuller, e partindo dos estudos com estruturas empregando bambu como elemento comprimido que vêm sendo desenvolvidos à 20 anos pelo LILD/PUC- Laboratório de Investigação de Living Design (antigo LOTDP), além de aplicar os princípios físicos da Tensegrity como técnica de construção, propõe-se aqui o desenvovimento de objetos físicos inéditos para utilização em áreas remotas ou de Proteção Ambiental. Estas estruturas são feitas em material natural reciclável e biodegradável, de fácil manejo, e utilizam tecnologia de baixa complexidade para a sua montagem. Elas são pouco invasivas porque, sendo auto-portantes, dispensam fundações pesadas para existir e resistir.
Till our days most of the constructions of buildings make use of very inadequate and obsolete materials resulting in a huge waste of energy and little gain in the relation cost/benfit. However, many people involved with construction problems, did not realize the fact that we build the wrong way consuming materials and energy in excess in relation to the desired goals. Along the known history of construction men served themselves only of the force of Gravity to obtain the stability of their structures. In all great, ancient and actual constructions, the materials employied, such as: stone, brick, iron, concrete, are of low building efficiency if we consider the relation strength/weight. Taking into account the theories and experiences with tensegrity techniques developed by Keneth Snelson and Richard Buckminster Fuller, and, starting from the studies with bambu structures, where bambu is the only compressed element, which is in course for 20 years now in the LILD- PUC-Rio (Laboratory of Living Design (former LOTDP), and applying the physical principles of Tensegrity as a building technique, our goal here is to develop real objects to be used in remote areas or National Parks. These structures, because of the reciclable materials of which they are made, are very easy to manipulate and need very low technology for the constructions made with them. Finally these structures are harmless to the environment because they are self suporting exempting the need of heavy foundations to exist and resist.

Abstract:
Bamboo construction is often related to traditional and vernacular architecture, which is found mostly in rural areas, where, for the construction, local people apply diverse techniques learned in an empirical way and passed on from generation to generation. However, in the last years, many modern constructions with bamboo have been developed around the world. At the same time, many connections have been designed for permanent and ephemerals lightweight structures. However, most of them do not have standardization and mechanical testing, because it is expensive or there are no means to do it. Therefore, it is required to create a technology classification for the most used existing connections, starting with the traditional way to join canes until the contemporary connections developed with high technology. In this context, connections are a challenge to be developed, as currently there is no normative in bamboo to follow and create standardization.

Abstract:
<p>Natural fibers are being explored nowadays to provide tensile strength needed in cementitious matrices. To give better bondage between the fibers and the matrices, surface enhancements for natural fibers can be induced through chemical treatments. In the current study, fibers are extracted from <i>Bambusa Blumeana</i>, an abundant local species of bamboo plant from the Philippines. Bamboo slats are pre-treated with varying concentration of 5%, 10% and 15% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and extracted fibers are treated with 10% aluminium sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) solution. Extracted bamboo fibers are subjected to Single Strand Tensile test. It is observed that bamboo slats submerged in 5% NaOH provides better mean tensile peak load. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images shows however that the fibers submerged in higher concentrations has developed rougher surface enhancements. The results can be used for developing bamboo fiber reinforced fly-ash based geopolymer composites and with further studies, can be applied as textile reinforcement for structural strengthening or retrofitting.</p>

Abstract:
Concrete-filled steel tubes have been widely used all over the world due to their superior structural behaviour. To promote the use of ecofriendly materials and to reduce the use of concrete, this paper presents an innovative type of composite column, which can be referred as bamboo-concrete filled steel tubes. In this kind of column, concrete filled in the space between the external steel tube and the inner raw moso bamboo. Bamboo-concrete filled steel tubes inherit the merits of concrete-filled steel tubes such as high load-bearing capacity and ductility performance. Besides, global buckling behaviour of a bamboo column due to its relatively large slenderness can be significantly improved, and the bamboo column with nodes could provide confinement to the infilled concrete. This paper investigated the composite effect of bamboo-concrete filled steel tubular stub columns subjected to axial compression. In addition, concrete-filled double-skin steel tubular stub columns and hollow concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns were also tested for comparison. The main experimental parameter considered was the diameter-to-thickness ratio (D/t) of steel tube. Test results indicated that the composite columns with moso bamboo pipe as inner core elements showed better ductility than the hollow concrete-filled steel tubular stub columns. The bearing capacity and ductility visibly increased with decreasing of the D/t ratio.
