Seismic Testing of a Bamboo Based Building System
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Bamboo grows in abundance in the earth’s subtropical and tropical zones, where the majority of earthquake hazards occur regularly. Bamboo is gaining in popularity as an earthquake-mitigating material because engineers are beginning to understand its structural properties. A research project has been taken up to investigate the practical use of bamboo in inexpensive, earthquake-resistant structures. Seismic tests were carried out on a full scale one room bamboo house using tri-axial shaker system to evaluate its adequacy in resisting earthquake loads and to study its performance during earthquake.
