Bamboo is used in the world a long time as a structure; however, in Brazil and some countries, reinforced concrete industry and other materials has greater notoriety and expansion over the last century, compared with other materials. Thus, this research aimed to detail bamboo construction techniques and understand how bamboo constructions are made. A large bibliography review was proceeded, where was verify tests and the use of bamboo in the roll form and laminated form. Posteriorly, it was verifying constructions in the world and constructive solutions made by project and execution teams. Finally, based at the obtained information, were made analyzes and details of bamboo used as structure.
