Project title:
Mechanical behaviour of laminated-bamboo compositesProject outline:
I aim to predict and simulate the mechanical performance of laminated-bamboo composites when used as structural elements. The research aims to provide a tool to assess laminated bamboo's structural performance for the construction of reliable small-to-midsize buildings.Primary supervisor:
