Eco-Friendly Prefabricated Bamboo Earthquake Relieve Shelters

摘要：

Immediately after the May 12, 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the authors developed a new disaster relieve temporary housing system using bamboo materials. The system built on the authors previous studies on laminated bamboo structures is an eco-friendly building system that can be made using local materials available to the Sichuan area. More than 2000 m2 classrooms and offices were constructed. The authors adopted a modular design concept to keep the fabrication cost-effective and deployment easy. The structural design was based on a procedure modified from the design guidelines for lightweight wood frame structures and was validated by testing. In room air inspection reveal that the air quality satisfies the current building standard. Full scale fire tests were conducted on both the modern bamboo shelter and the conventional light gauged steel prefab shelter. Contrasting with the poor fire performance of the conventional prefab building, the eco-friendly bamboo shelter model behaved satisfactorily.
