Structural design of an Italian bamboo house in an Italian regulatory context: Revisiting a small building built in Costa Rica with tropical bamboo
Source abstract
Abstract
A residential building designed by the architect Anna Zanetti and already built in Costa Rica using Guadua angustifolia and Dendrocalamus asper is redesigned, choosing the municipality of Bologna, in the north part of Italy, as the construction site and Moso (Phyllostachys edulis) cultivated in Italy, as structural material. The redesign is performed in the context of Italian standards. The paper demonstrates how it is possible to design a building using European bamboo, geometrically smaller in respect to the tropical one, in compliance with the Italian national standards NTC2018 with the aid of Bamboo International standards (ISO 22156). All the members are multi-culms and the connections are chosen without perforations.
