A significant seismic experiment of bamboo scrimber has been carried out in 2024,leading by Sichuan Architectural Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd. ("SADI"), This is world's first vibration table test of a bamboo scrimber frame-shear wall structure.All the bamboo used in this project was produced and assembly by us.
The vibration table test of bamboo scrimber frame-shear wall structure was subjected to seismic tests of 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, and 9 degrees of magnitude. It was ultimately loaded to 1.0g (using the El Centro wave, with three-directional loading). The structure successfully passed the test, demonstrating excellent seismic performance and high potential for practical application.
The test demonstrates that bamboo scrimber structural system has excellent seismic performance, which will provide strong support for the large-scale application of bamboo scrimber in structural buildings.
This will break through the application bottleneck of reconstituted bamboo in building structures, promote the development of modern bamboo buildings, and contribute to the realization of Sichuan Province's dual carbon goals and rural revitalization goals.
