Bamboo lumber is used across the world in construction and building due to it's versatility, beauty, sustainaility, flexibility, and its incredible strength.
It's these very characteristics of bamboo that has led to such a high level of appreciation of its versatility in structural and architectural design of contemporary building and a wider variety of construction projects. As a versatile building material it is so strong that it can be used as the main structural material for some types of buildings, and it is so aesthetically pleasing that it lends itself to being used in interior design and home furnishings.
In many countries across the world, buildings and houses constructed from bamboos are common, particularly in tropical climates where there are giant bamboos growing as forests. If you are considering buying bamboos for the purpose of using as a timber you need to first look at which species will most suit your requirements. Species. Alaminos City. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) takes its Corporate Social Responsibility to another level, this time supporting the trailblazing E-Kawayan project.
PAGCOR recently turned over a P31-million financial aid to the City Government of Alaminos, Pangasinan in support of its Hundred Islands Engineered Kawayan Project, dubbed simply as HI e-Kawayan. PAGCOR’s funding will enable the City of Alaminos to have a fully functional bamboo factory. The factory will re-engineer bamboos into wood-like lumber materials to manufacture school chairs that will be sold at a reasonable price to public schools nationwide through the Department of Education (DepEd).
Chairman and CEO Cristino Naguiat, Jr. says PAGCOR is supporting the project “because it is very different from a simple dole out. The HI e-Kawayan project provides the people of Pangasinan an opportunity to have their own livelihood.” Project Impacts. Www7.plala.or.jp/NYceramic/Citf.pdf. Philippine National Report on Bamboo.

INTRODUCTION The Philippine archipelago, composed of 7,100 islands, is located between latitudes 5oN and 21oN and longitudes 116oE and 127oE. It is bordered by the Luzon strait to the north the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Celebes Sea to the south, the Sulu and South China Seas to the west (FAO, 1995 and World Resources Institute, 1994). It has a total land area of 30 million ha, 53 percent (15.88 m. ha) of which is forest land (Philippine Forestry Statistics 1996). Types of Bamboo. Did you know?
Bamboo is used for making helmets, bicycles, and even cars! Yes, bamboo is the new steel which is being used for making lighter, edgier, and eco-friendly designs.Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on Earth and is capable of attaining its full height and spread within a single growing season. The growth aspect of bamboos can determine whether it is a clumping or running species. Bamboos are evergreen plants that belong to the Poaceae family of grass. This giant grass is hardy enough to sustain harsh winters, drought, as well as the sweltering humidity of tropical regions.

Recycling of Bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris Schrad) Recovered from Scaffold into Material for Furniture Production. Bamboo Experts Pool 2013. Glue-laminated bamboo for structural uses developed. LOS BAÑOs, Laguna – A glue-laminated bamboo and bamboo-wood combination for structural uses have been developed by government researchers here.
The new technology was generated by researchers of the Los Baños-based Forest Products Research and Development (FPRDI) under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) headed by Director Florence Soriano. The researchers were Dr. Marina Alipon (project leader), Mildred Fidel, Zenita Espiloy, and Pedro Cayabyab. They presented the technology at the recent Regional Research and Development (R&D) Symposium of the Southern Tagalog Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Consortium (STARRDEC), one of the 14 government regional R&D consortia coordinated by the Los Baños-based Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD).
The samples were laminated using urea formaldehyde (UF) + ammonium chloride (NHcC1) as Glue 1, and UF + NH4C1 + insocyanate as Glue 11. Forest Products Research and Development Institute - Development of Glue-Laminated Bamboo and Bamboo-Wood Combination for Structural Uses. AUTHORS: Marina A.
Alipon, Mildred M. Fidel, Zenita B. Productivity of kawayan tinik plantation can be improved, experts say. Bamboo houses for calamity-hit areas. The Philippine Bamboo Foundation (PBF) has been in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity and the Department of Social Welfare and Development for the development of bamboo-cement technology to be used to make sturdy, earthquake- and storm-proof houses for earthquake-stricken Bohol and Supertyphoon “Yolanda”-hit areas.
This was revealed by Edgardo Manda, PBF president. He added that the prototyping is now being done by Habitat for Humanity. Manda said PBF and Habitat signed a memorandum of understanding on January 13 “to explore a partnership in developing hybrid bamboo houses primarily for earthquake victims in Bohol. Once fully developed, it could be replicated in Yolanda-hit areas.” Manda said the basic model is seen to be about 20 square metres with two bedrooms and an attached toilet and bath, made with galvanized steel frame and GI sheet roof for quick assembly. Short supply He explained: “Bamboo utilisation is the attraction, but the supply side is being ignored. Sustainable demand. Philippine National Report on Bamboo.

Bamboo Architecture and Construction with Oscar Hidalgo Notes by CASSANDRA ADAMS Architect Oscar Hidalgo has dedicated his life to bamboo research, and teaching the world about the limitless possibilities of this remarkable plant.
Born in a bamboo house in Chinchina, Colombia, bamboo construction was common in his state, where many residential and public buildings were constructed using this cheap and widely available material. Like most homes, in his house the bamboo was hidden beneath plaster, and indeed, it looked like it was made of brick. After he left the university, Oscar was intrigued by the possibilities of using bamboo in construction, and embarked on a project to construct a country club kiosk 23 meters in diameter using this material. Five days before the opening ceremony, there was a hurricane which distorted the building extremely, moving the kingpost 90 cm off-center. Bamboo Buildings. Bamboo Buildings Grow it, build with it.
