This paper reports tensile and compressive test results of bolted glubam (glued laminated bamboo) connections. The tensile tests were carried out with two types of specimens designed for tensile loadings in the longitudinal and transverse directions in relevance to the orientations of the bidirectional bamboo strips (fibers). In each direction, the specimens were further divided into nine groups according to different combination conditions of end and edge spacings. Compressive tests were executed for three groups of bolted glubam connections, with varying thickness of the main board and bolting conditions. The tensile experiments show that the failure of the specimens is strongly influenced by the loading directions. Recommended end distance and side distance are provided, whereas the load carrying capacity is analyzed. Based on the compressive testing results, failure modes and load displacement relationships are analyzed, in which the yield bearing capacity is shown to be close to that given by the equations in existing design specifications for timber structure.

本文报告了螺栓连接的glubam（胶合层压竹子）连接的拉伸和压缩测试结果。用两种类型的试样进行了拉伸试验，这些试样设计成与双向竹带（纤维）的方向有关的纵向和横向拉伸载荷。在每个方向上，根据端部和边缘间距的不同组合条件，将样本进一步分为九组。对三组螺栓连接的古拉姆接头进行了压缩测试，其主板厚度和螺栓连接条件各不相同。拉伸实验表明，试样的破坏受到载荷方向的强烈影响。提供了建议的末端距离和侧面距离，同时分析了承载能力。
