《Bamboo and Wood Structures》(abbreviated as BWS) is an international academic journal focusing on the "cross-integration of bamboo and wood structure engineering and green buildings". It is committed to breaking down the barriers between traditional building materials and modern construction technologies. With renewable biomass materials such as bamboo and wood at its core, it explores their innovative applications in structural engineering, architectural design, and green and low-carbon fields. It aims to build a high-quality platform for global scholars, engineers, architects, and industry professionals to publish cutting-edge research results, discuss technological innovations, and connect industrial practices, thereby promoting the standardization, high performance, and sustainable development of bamboo and wood structure buildings.
Journal Purpose
Based on the global "dual carbon" goals and the development trend of green architecture, the journal explores the optimization of material properties, innovation of structural systems, upgrading of design theories, innovation of construction technologies, and engineering application practices of bamboo and wood structures through publishing high-quality original research. It reveals the core technical challenges and solutions of bamboo and wood materials in seismic resistance, fire resistance, corrosion resistance, and other aspects, helps the academic community deepen the scientific understanding of renewable building material structures, provides reference for the industry in green and low-carbon architectural design and engineering practice, and promotes the academic progress and large-scale industrial application of the bamboo and wood structure field.
