Bamboo is a fast-growing biomass material with excellent performance, making it a preferred choice for the development of green and low-carbon building materials. However, challenges such as combustibility and difficulties in processing and utilization persist. In this study, bamboo chips are wrapped in fiberglass cloth and cemented with magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) to develop green, environmentally friendly, flameretardant, and carbon-storing bamboo-based composite panels. Firstly, the optimal ratio of the inorganic adhesive MOC was systematically investigated, and flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FG) was added to enhance its water resistance. The flexural strengths of the composite board in the direction of the bamboo fiber and that perpendicular to it were found to be 15.71 MPa and 34.64 MPa, respectively. Secondly, numerical simulations were conducted alongside plate experiments, analyzing the floor and wall made from the boards. The results indicate that since the fiber-reinforced bamboo board as a lightweight wall can meet the requirements for a two-story building, it does not satisfy safety standards as a floor slab due to the higher loads. Despite this limitation, the fiber-reinforced bamboo board shows promising application prospects as a green and low-carbon alternative.
