The effects of nodes and resin on the mechanical properties of laminated bamboo timber produced from Gigantochloa scortechinii

The objective of this work was to evaluate the mechanical properties of laminated bamboo timber (LBT) manufactured from bamboo (Gigantochloa scortechinii). Bamboo strips containing nodes were used to produce laminated samples. Each bamboo mat was arranged with 5 cm intervals ranging from 0 cm to 15...
