Abstract: Modern bamboo structure is a new kind of structure, it plays an important role in the development of environmentally friendly architecture. China has abundant bamboo resource. The research on modern bamboo structure emerges in this condition. It is necessary to form a theory of modern bamboo and provide a theoretical basis for engineering design. Structural styles and the seismic performance and other aspects of the mechanical properties should be researched in the future.
