Limeboo: Lime as a replacement for cement in wallframing systems with bamboo-Guadua (Bahareque Encementado) (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Traditional construction systems with the bamboo species Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) are standardized under the Colombian code for seismic-resistant buildings [1]. These systems are regarded as highly environmentally friendly due to their inte...

Mechanical and physical characterization of composite bamboo-Guadua products: Plastiguadua (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The bamboo species Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) was subjected to different fibre extraction processes, chemically treated and used in combination with a set range of polymers to form various composite materials.
Novel technologies and artisan... Read More about Mechanical and physical characterization of composite bamboo-Guadua products: Plastiguadua.

Elastic properties of thermo-hydro-mechanically modified bamboo (Guadua angustifolia Kunth) measured in tension. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Guadua angustifolia Kunth (Guadua) was subjected to thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatments that modified its microstructure and mechanical properties. THM treatment was applied to Guadua with the aim of tackling the difficulties in the fabrication...
