Bamboo has long been used as a building material in many parts of the world, and for a good reason. It is sustainable, affordable, and versatile, making it a great choice for those looking to build a beautiful, environmentally-conscious home or building. Bamboo is a fast growing natural resource and seems to be suitable for modern building constructions. But when it comes to connections, traditional techniques still play a major role resulting in high labor costs in construction by lack of utilization the full structural potential. The geometric connection problem of circular and hollow cross-sections should be solved without the risk of loosing structural capacity by splitting the raw material. Our research group benefit from an international recognition and expertise in this research area and a strong world class partner network. Together we want to make a small contribution to the material transition in construction, simply by respecting our environment and learning from nature.
