BAMBOO CONNECTIONS Joining bamboo members to transfer load are categorized in two types of connections: Low-technology connections and High-technology connections. The main difference between the two types is that one requires cheap and simple connection pieces that can be assembled by unskilled labor (low-tech), and the other using industrial standard components such as steel plates and bolts (high-tech) (Rottke 2). The common ways of joining members are parallel connections, orthogonal, connections and angle joints. Angle joints though usually involve multiple members (eight or so) meeting at a point.
