Effect of the Nonprestressed/Prestressed BFRP Bar on Flexural Performance of the Bamboo Beam
Table 3
Details of tested reconstituted bamboo beams applied with nonprestressed/prestressed BFRP bar.
| Type | Label | b × h × l (mm) | db (mm) | (kN) | as (mm) | ω0 (mm) |
| Reconstituted bamboo beam | B0 | 66.6 × 120.7 × 1869 | 12 | 0 | 13 | 0 | B1 | 60.8 × 112.5 × 1865 | 12 | 18.29 | 24 | 3.14 | B2 | 62.4 × 113.4 × 1870 | 12 | 16.73 | 23 | 2.87 |
