A study on the using of bamboo materials as the building materials

本报告从建筑生产的角度，通过对以竹子生产而闻名的日本京都、九州地区等地的访问，介绍了竹材料在建筑材料，特别是住宅中的应用现状（课题：竹材料的生产、竹材料的特性及在建筑中的应用）。本研究明确了三点：（1）竹材料生产中存在的问题（如稳定的供应）;（2）建筑材料的新材料（如竹绞线、竹地板及室内用）;（3）竹筋混凝土桥梁的存在，使新型竹材料作为建筑材料成为可能，在未来的建筑设计和室内设计中。

This report describes the present condition for the using of bamboo materials as the building materials, especialy housing, from the view of architectural puroduction in the regions that are famous for the production of bamboos, e.g. Kyoto and Kyushu district, by interviewing (the subjects ; a production of bamboo materials, the characteristics of bamboo materials and the applications for building).This study clears three points : (1) the problems for the production of bamboo materials (e.g. a steady supply) ; (2) the new materials for building materials (e.g. Bamboo Strand Lamber, bamboo flooring and using for interior) ; (3) a existance of the bridge made of bamboo reinforced concrete.As a result, we have a possibility of a using the new bamboo materials as the building materials, in the case of the building design and the interior design in the future.
