It seems like it is mainly marketed as flooring/countertop material, but these engineered bamboo products seem really neat, i need to read up more on structural properties
It's one of the most commonly found materials on the construction site - plywood. We look at some of the drawbacks of common plywood and why bamboo might be an alternative worth checking out.

This is a good overview of the processing (i will try and make a flowchart ), but it does include a integrated carpentry shop for furniture, so not entirely just about EBPs and their manufacture / may be a larger site than one just for that, but it is a good overview imo:

Oh this is lovely, I wanted to embrace bamboo and find "all the things" that can be used for it. (Is there such a website that provides this kind of info, actually? Insert material, get list of uses?)
Bamboo reinforced concrete mix proportion, design principles and construction technique with properties of bamboo as reinforcement in concrete is discussed.
I didn’t see anything in there about preventing the breakdown of the organic material in bamboo, also the structure of bamboo is full of voids which would cause significant problems for load bearing concrete
@Deleted User This is the first time I had seen unsplit bamboo used also. The far east uses bamboo a lot instead of steel. This site mentions treating but I did not look long enough for how. A friend that was in Taiwan just said it was dried and split. That it didn't corrode like steel and breakout the concrete.

In Thailand I saw the bamboo being made into furniture. Split and planed to size.
