Can Ohia Timbers be Used for Construction?
#21
Just a quick note regarding Catherine's comment about "f strength." The structural bamboo used in our house received certification after something like a ten-year process. I think a section on the Bambootechnologies.com website chronicles what they had to go through. The local framing inspector wanted to see the little metal labels on the bamboo which indicate the certified inspection the pieces get in the factory in Viet Nam! I have heard someone in Hawaii has gone through the IBC process for another bamboo species which grows more commonly in this state.
