Abstract
As an innovative advancement beyond cross-laminated timber (CLT), cross-laminated bamboo and timber (CLBT) combines sustainability with enhanced structural performance. This review critically assesses the current state of CLBT research, focusing on its failure mechanisms, mechanical properties, and predictive theoretical models. Key findings indicate that CLBT exhibits superior rolling shear strength, bending stiffness, and stability compared to conventional CLT, achieved through optimized hybrid layering and manufacturing techniques. The integration of bamboo not only improves mechanical performance but also promotes diversification of raw materials and more efficient use of regional biomass. This paper highlights the potential of CLBT as a high-performance, eco-friendly construction material and identifies key research gaps and future directions to facilitate its standardized application.
