By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Describe the structural characteristics of bamboo culms
List and interpret the advantages and limitations of using bamboo culms as a structural product
Identify where and how bamboo culms may be used appropriately within a building structure
Determine the capacity of bamboo culms and their connections through basic calculations
Examine the state-of-the-art of structural design with engineered bamboo
This course is intended for anyone working with glulam and timber and are exploring alternatives or with an interest in building with sustainable materials, but might be of particular relevance for:

Mid-career engineer
Senior engineer/Team leader/Manager
David Trujillo has been researching bamboo for over 25 years and has authored or co-authored more than 50 publications on the subject, including technical papers on bamboo in The Structural Engineer. He is a member of the committee that drafted five ISO standards for bamboo (some of which are now British Standards).
Seb Kaminski is an Associate Structural Engineer in Arup’s Specialist Technology Analytics & Research Team and a specialist in the use of bamboo, especially for housing in seismic areas. He has co-authored technical papers on bamboo in The Structural Engineer and was also involved in the revision of ISO 22156 (Structural Design of Bamboo).
