Bamboo joint capacity determined by ISO 22156 ‘complete joint testing’ provisions

Abstract
This paper demonstrates the determination of bamboo joint properties by the process of complete joint testing as permitted and described in ISO 22156 §10.2. The moment resisting behaviour of a bolted fish mouth connection is selected to elaborate upon and demonstrate the entire process of complete joint testing on a simple connection type. The bolted fish mouth joint tested exhibited considerable variation of performance parameters resulting in relatively low characteristic design parameters of yield strength, ultimate strength and rotational stiffness.
