METODOLOGÍA DE DISEÑO DE ESTRUCTURAS EN GUADUA ANGUSTIFOLIA COMO MATERIAL ESTRUCTURAL POR EL MÉTODO DE ESFUERZOS ADMISIBLES, 2011

For that reason, it is mandatory the launch of normalized parameters for seismic resistant design of guadua structures, which include the definition of allowable stresses values. This article presents the structural design methodology for guadua structures established during the execution of the project “Validation of Guadua Angustifolia as a structural material for design, by the allowable stresses method”, which has been financed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Colombia (Ministerio de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural de Colombia) and carried out by the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, since August 2008 when there were no standards for the design with raw bamboo. The design methodology is based on structural mechanics, the ISO 22156 Bamboo Structural Design and different research works at national and international level.
