Abstract

Bamboo is an eco-friendly material with light weight, high strength, short growth cycle and high sustainability, which is widely used in building structures. Engineered bamboo has further promoted the development of modern bamboo structures due to its unrestricted size and shape. However, as a fiber-reinforced material, fracture damage, especially Mode I fracture damage, becomes the most likely damage mode of its structure, so Mode I fracture characteristics are an important subject in the research of mechanical properties of bamboo. This paper summarizes the current status of experimental research on the Mode I fracture properties of bamboo based on the three-point bending (TPB) method, the single-edge notched beam (SENB) method, the compact tension (CT) method and the double cantilever beam (DCB) method, compares the fracture toughness of different species of bamboo, analyzes the toughening mechanisms and fracture damage modes, discusses the applicability of different theoretical calculation methods, and makes suggestions for future research priorities, aiming to provide a reference for future research and engineering applications in related fields.
