Abstract
The railway industry has shown a strong interest in utilizing sustainable materials, including recycled materials and composites, in construction 1 Bamboo is characterized as a renewable, biodegradable and energy efficient natural resource with a great potential as a sustainable structural building material. It has high strength to weight ratio compared to conventional materials such as concrete, timber and steel.These species will reach their maximum height, between 15 m and 30 m, within 2 months to 4 months. It takes 3 years to 8 years for bamboo to reach its maximum strength. Diameters of this plant range from 5 cm to 15 cm . A lot of researches have been completed at the Ningbo University to promote the application of the laminated bamboo panel since 2005 . Many researchers have devoted themselves to develop bamboo and bamboo products as new modern structural building materials. Bamboo reinforced concrete has a long history of research and applications in civil engineering . Moreover, due to its rapid growth rate, bamboo is considered an environmentally friendly material. However, there are certain factors that limit the widespread deployment of bamboo in the railway industry 1
