2. Very cheap and easily available in

hot

method. Beside hot bending and cold

about the nature and properties of
bamboo,
the knowledge about structure system
and bending method, the knowledge
about joinery system is also needed.
However, the use of bamboo as

It is critical to observe and perform

This research
does this by establishing mechanical
property value averages and ranges of
bamboo (Chapter 2),
determining safety and resistance
factors for use of bamboo in structural
applications (Chapter
3), and assessing the feasibility of
bamboo serving as the underground
casing in an experimental
groundwater well field experiment
(Chapter 4). The main author sincerely
hopes that this
research is a small but important
stepping stone in a path forward to a
more sustainable future for
humanity to meet its basic needs while
conserving and integrating better with
nature. Bringing
bamboo into the everyday lives of
people does more than serve a need, it
integrates and reminds
humanity that it is a part of and can, in
fact, live in harmony with nature,
bettering lives and
overall health. Enhancing the uses of
natural materials such as bamboo and
other sustainable
bioforestry products can potentially
lead to a decrease in the use of plastic
materials and formaldehyde treated
timber products that can release
harmful chemicals to the built
environment and are attributed to
causing health problems (Karstadt
1976; Allsopp et al. 2000;
Yu & Kim 2012). Therefore,
consideration of the use of bamboo for
a variety of applications
such as housing and water distribution,
begins with a clear understanding of its
mechanical
properties, allowing the material to be
safely designed by architects and
engineers.
