We have developed the new connecting system using bamboo connector and adhesive. In this study, we try to improve the strength performance of the bamboo connector. The densified technique is adopted to produce to obtain high strength performance of bamboo connector in the production process.
The various kinds of tests of the densified bamboo and the joint with the densified bamboo connector were carried out to obtain the strength characteristics. The denified bamboo connector has very high strength performance for tension equivalent to that of steel connector. And the shear performance of bamboo connector is improved markedly by densified technique.
