This paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the compressive deformation of bamboo (Bambusa Vulgaris-Schrad) in the middle section. The deformation mechanisms are elucidated via in-situ observations of deformation in specimens oriented for loading in directions that are either longitudinal or transverse. Compressive deformation is shown to result in progressive micro-buckling and kink band formation. The onset of micro-buckling is also shown to be well predicted by an Euler buckling model. The critical loads for failure in the transverse orientation are also shown to be consistent with the conditions for shear yielding in the plies with fibers that are oriented in an orthogonal direction to the loading axis.
