Cross laminated bamboo panels (G-XLam), a feasible alternative for low-rise buildings in Europe.
Following up from our post featuring the benefits of using Engineered bamboo products (EBPs) and the last progress on product development by Amphibia BASE, preliminary results of an on-going R&D+i project show that cross laminated Guadua-bamboo (G-XLam) panels are feasible structural components for a typical European low-rise structure. A typical detached two-storey house (Figure 1) using G-XLam panels as load-bearing walls was modeled by Aether Engineering s.a.s. (Italy) usi
