Abstract

Various examples are provided related to panel systems fabricated from bamboo. In one example, a panel system includes a central core including a layer of substantially aligned bamboo poles; a first outer lath layer including substantially aligned bamboo lathes or poles extending across a first side of the central core; and a second outer lath layer including substantially aligned bamboo lathes or poles extending across a second side of the central core. The bamboo lathes or poles of the first outer lath layer can be at an angle with respect to the bamboo poles and the bamboo laths or poles of the second outer lath layer can positioned at the same or another angle with respect to the bamboo poles. In other examples, beams or other structural elements can be fabricated using one-way lamination of bamboo elements.
