Application of Bamboo Treatment for the Construction of Shelter Houses

Abstract

Over the previous few decades, several investigations on various aspects of bamboo's structural use have been conducted. Some of these led to the development of various preservation methods to prevent bamboo from biodeterioration and so improve its use, particularly in shelter housing. As a result, a variety of bamboo building materials have been developed. However, considerable research shortages exist in areas such as bamboo treatment methods and shelter construction styles. There has been a demand for a simple building standard for a long time. These concepts must be demonstrated before the full potential of bamboo as a building material can be realized. As a result, more research into bamboo treatment methods and shelter house construction patterns is required.
