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

本文从京都、九州等以竹材生产闻名的地区的建筑生产现状，通过对竹材生产、竹材特性、建筑应用等方面的访谈，描述了竹材作为建筑材料特别是住宅材料的使用现状。本研究明确了三点：(1)竹材生产中存在的问题(如供应稳定)；(2)建筑材料的新材料(如竹绞板、竹地板和室内使用)；(3)竹子加固混凝土桥梁的存在。因此，我们有可能在未来的建筑设计和室内设计中使用新的竹子材料作为建筑材料。

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.
