      abstract = {This book offers a comprehensive overview of the use of  bamboo in building industry. It systematically demonstrates  bamboos utility in terms of its properties, describing the  material properties of typical industrial bamboo products,  and discussing their performance evaluation and  optimization as building components and in the creation of  building envelopes. The book also includes examples of the  high-value utilization of bamboo forest resources. Further,  it examines how building performance may be affected by  conditions such as climate. Including insights from  material science, construction design, building physics and  building climatology, the book also provides data obtained  from technology and market status investigation, laboratory  test and the computer simulation. This book appeals to  scientists and professionals, as it introduces and tests  various bamboo products, demonstrating the advantages and  disadvantages for each one. The book is also a valuable  resource for civil engineers and students interested in  this unique plant material and its application in the  building industry.},
