Description: This revised handbook brings together the practical experience of engineers working in the field, and research programmes testing the properties of bamboo. It is a technical manual with information about the potentials and limits of bamboo as a building material. The book shows how the material has been used in different designs in developing countries and describes the varying properties and uses of different types of bamboo. The author shows how bamboo can be harvested, seasoned and jointed to form walls, doors and windows, roofs, floors, ceilings, roof trusses and bridges, and how to weave bamboo. The new edition updates and corrects the text of the first edition; and includes a detailed case study of the extensive experience of Costa Rica in bamboo construction.
