NBC Part 6: Structural Design Section 3B: Timber and Bamboo

This section covers the design of structural bamboo in buildings, including general design principles, minimum strength data requirements, dimension stability, grading requirements, and traditional bamboo joint types to ensure quality. It outlines the grading criteria for structural bamboo based on diameter, length, taper, straightness, wall thickness, density, strength, durability, and stability. The criteria for selecting bamboo includes using mature bamboo at least 4 years of age, a 6 week felling period, solid bamboo with thicker walls and closer nodes, and a minimum 8mm wall thickness for load bearing members with less than 5.8mm of taper per meter.
