Abstract
Cross-laminated bamboo and timber (CLBT), as a new kind of mass composite product, can efficiently use available regional resources for manufacturing. Although CLBTs have a wide range of application prospects in the construction field, the studies on the in-plane compressive performance have not yet been fully developed. This work investigated the in-plane compressive performance of CLBT specimens with compressive angles of 0, 45, and 90 deg. Experimental results showed that the compressive performance of the specimens was affected by the compressive angle and constitution of the characteristics of wood and bamboo fibers. Piecewise and continuous strain–stress models were compared with the test results, demonstrating that the latter can achieve a better balance between model complexity and accuracy. These findings can provide valuable tools and novel insights into the role of making the use of CLBT walls reasonable and efficient.
