Bamboos House Cottage

Bamboo houses are the traditional housing of the Dai ethnic group in Xishuangbanna. This kind of building is primarily built of bamboo—the posts, girders, purlins, rafters, doors and walls are all made of bamboo.Modular bamboo can be an extremely versatile building material. It is lightweight, available in abundance and stronger than steel. It can take any shape in construction and also act as a major earthquake resistant structure in various parts of the world.Modular, prefabricated components of performance-grade engineered bamboo are used for building enclosures to provide high performance, sustainability, and dimensional stability.Bamboo has an extremely robust structure that makes it a great building material. Bamboo has a tensile strength that is comparable to steel and a compressive strength that is two times greater than concrete. Shear stress in bamboo fiber is higher than in wood. Unlike wood, bamboo has a wider spread.
