Experimental and Theoretical Study on Axial Compression Behavior of Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel-Bamboo Scrimber Composite Column. A Literature Review
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Material Engineering
Abstract
This literature review provides an overview of studies on the use of cold-formed steel (CFS) and bamboo as potential structural materials. CFS is widely used in construction due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, while bamboo is gaining attention as a sustainable alternative because of its renewability and excellent tensile strength. The review focuses on literature that examines these materials both individually and in hybrid systems, as well as their mechanical, durability, and structural performance in different regional contexts. Additionally, it identifies potential opportunities, challenges, and limitations that may arise from combining high-strength CFS with bamboo in structural applications. While significant progress has been made in understanding the performance of these materials, unresolved issues remain, such as material compatibility and the long-term sustainability of hybrid structures. This review aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of this emerging research area and support the development of greener, more sustainable construction practices.
