Properties of Wood and Bamboo Used in Construction

Dear Colleagues,

Along with the issues of sustainability, wooden constructions and bamboo products have arisen as eco-friendly solutions for building sectors. By means of processing or engineering techniques, the mechanical properties and applicational versatilities of wood and bamboo can be considerably enhanced. Associated evaluating methods have led to a significant increase in the reliability of engineered components and structures. Based on the current progress and propagation, wooden constructions and bamboo products have achieved a promising milestone. The markets and users are looking forward to the further development of wooden construction and bamboo products. Regarding the large-scale structures and highly engineered elements, advanced technology and science need further promotion and improvement.
