Laminate of Reformed Bamboo and Extruded Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Plate
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 14, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper introduces two types of laminates, double-layer reformed bamboo (cross-ply) laminate and fiber-reinforced cementitious (FRC) plate-reformed bamboo laminate. The second laminate is made of reformed bamboo and extruded FRC plates. The reformed bamboo is ductile and tough and has a high tensile strength, while the FRC plate has higher compressive strength. The FRC plate-reformed bamboo laminate fully utilizes the advantages of each component to achieve superior mechanical properties. A series of flexural, impact, and compression after impact (CAI) tests have been conducted to evaluate the performance of both laminates. It is found that the newly developed FRC plate-reformed bamboo laminate has a high flexural strength (up to 96 MPa), excellent impact resistance, good ductility, and outstanding toughness. Hence, it has good potential in engineering applications.
