Advanced workshop in bamboo structural design

July 4 & 5 - 2005 - Florence (Italy)
Towards a friendly techno-scientific design of bamboo structures

Static performance forecasting calculation models and laboratory tests
of bamboo connections appropriate to different structural types

The design of a bamboo building system implies from the initial steps, the forecasting of its static behaviour according to the required performances. While the mechanical features and/or the static performances of culms of some bamboo species may be known, still rather unknown is the static behaviour of bamboo connections.
We need calculation models giving evidence of both the overall response to the various forces and the role played by its components.

Location
The workshop will take place at the
Dep. of Structural Engineering
Faculty of Engineering - University of Florence

During the workshop, load testings of typical bamboo connections will be carried out in order to determine the load limit, the allowable load and the related deformations. Data will be then used to validate simplified calculation models.

Teaching Staff
Gianni Bartoli - prof. eng. - Construction Technique- University of Florence (Italy)
Mario de Miranda - eng. - Studio de Miranda Associati - Milan (Italy)
Neri Braulin - arch. - EMISSIONIZERO
