Abstract

Rapid shelter construction after floods requires materials that are cheap, locally available and quick to assemble. We characterize bamboo-composite panels made with a starch-based binder and test their compressive strength and water resistance. The panels meet the minimum requirements for temporary shelters at one fifth the cost of imported alternatives.
