A video was recently released highlighting the work of doctoral student Mário Seixas, from the Postgraduate Program in Civil Engineering at PUC-Rio, linked to the Structures and Materials Laboratory at PUC-Rio. The video presents a detailed experimental analysis of an ultra-light bamboo structure, exploring its properties and potential.

Produced with resources from CAPES Proex, the video is an initiative to publicize the innovative research developed at the university. The experimental analysis conducted by Mário Seixas, under the guidance of Prof. Daniel Carlos Taissum Cardoso, demonstrates the viability of bamboo as a sustainable and efficient material for civil engineering applications.

Watch the video and learn more about this research that contributes to significant advances in the area of ​​sustainable construction materials.
