Bamboo is a green building material that is environmentally friendly and has great development value. However, the limited mechanical properties and heterogeneous dimensions of natural bamboo poles curb the application of bamboo in building structures. A transverse section of engineered bamboo is regular and compact, and its mechanical properties are stable, which can meet the requirements for physical and mechanical properties of materials in modern building structures. Though application of engineered bamboo has just started, it is of great significance to study the connection performance and corresponding influence factors for popularization and application of modern bamboo structures. This paper is focused on a review of research progress for connections in engineered bamboo structures. Firstly, a study on embedding strength and the performance of bolted joints is presented, including calculation methods described with a proposal for future development of standards suitable for the characteristics of engineered bamboo materials. Secondly, research on carpentry joints is introduced, namely tenon-mortise joints, nail joints and truss plate joints. Finally, some engineering examples are briefly introduced. This work can provide a reference for further research on connections in engineered bamboo structures.

Abstract
Bamboo is a green building material that is environmentally friendly and has great development value. However, the limited mechanical properties and heterogeneous dimensions of natural bamboo poles curb the application of bamboo in building structures. A transverse section of engineered bamboo is regular and compact, and its mechanical properties are stable, which can meet the requirements for physical and mechanical properties of materials in modern building structures. Though application of engineered bamboo has just started, it is of great significance to study the connection performance and corresponding influence factors for popularization and application of modern bamboo structures. This paper is focused on a review of research progress for connections in engineered bamboo structures. Firstly, a study on embedding strength and the performance of bolted joints is presented, including calculation methods described with a proposal for future development of standards suitable for the characteristics of engineered bamboo materials. Secondly, research on carpentry joints is introduced, namely tenon-mortise joints, nail joints and truss plate joints. Finally, some engineering examples are briefly introduced. This work can provide a reference for further research on connections in engineered bamboo structures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
