“…The use of bamboo can be further developed for climate mitigation, erosion disaster management (Sofiana et al 2018) and the development of remote areas to create a higher value of its products and improve the quality of life (Cidhy et al 2015). The potential socioeconomic and environmental benefits of bamboo forests emphasize the implications for sustainable rural development (Partey et al 2017).…”

This research aimed to study bamboo biomass renewable energy development cultivated in community forests in Indonesia, especially in those frontiers, outermost, and least developed regions often referred to as 3T regions. Community empowerment refers to the process of enabling communities to increase control over their lives. The study was conducted in three villages of Matotonan, Madobag, and Saliguma in Siberut Island, Mentawai Islands District, West Sumatra Province. This study's design was descriptive by conducting a field survey, using a systematic random sampling method with the interview and questionnaire technique to obtain primary data on electricity demand and demographic factors. The key success indicators were then generated using the Strategic Assumption Surfacing and Testing (SAST) method to analyze the FGD. The biomass energy development without community empowerment and the presence of PLN at subsidized rates would not succeed. The renewable energy of bamboo forest biomass characterizes the need for community participation to be involved in operations. Without community empowerment, the community would not have the ability to pay electricity bills even if subsidized. No income distribution would also result in not achieving the main objectives of this project's development, which is sustainable development for rural communities in the 3T regions.

Development of Preliminary Curved Bamboo Member Design Guidelines through Finite Element Analysis

Bamboo is emerging as a lightweight, versatile and renewable material that is projected to realise new methods of construction. There is a growing demand for using bamboo in different regions across the world. However, there are no specific design standards or guidelines that capitalise on the unique circular hollow cross section and internal nodal support of bamboo. Furthermore, there has been no strict analysis into how the curvature of bamboo members can help to better distribute stress through a structure. Bamboo is known as a more environmentally sustainable material than standard timber; however, due to the naturally occurring diaphragm nodal structure, it is less orthotropic in mechanical behaviour, with more out of plane stiffness than timber. To address this issue, this paper presents finite element analysis of three varying bamboo structures, each featuring a varying member curvature and lateral support system. In this paper, a preliminary set of design guidelines have been proposed for bamboo members, maximising the performance of its inherent mechanical properties. These guidelines propose the use of thick, low diameter bamboo members in axial loading and thin, high diameter members in flexural situations. Where available, the preliminary guidelines introduce the importance of curved bamboo members to uniformly distribute forces and crossing arched members to eliminate the need for lateral support systems, thereby reducing the total material required for construction. Finally, this report presents some novel consideration of the out-of-plane buckling of curved bamboo members–although for this purpose it does not consider the effect of the diaphragm components of bamboo, a source of future research and more comprehensive design guidelines.

“…Bagchi et al [ 10 ] conducted several similar studies on the use of bamboo as a construction material to replace standard concrete material. They also came to the conclusion that the relationship between bamboo’s mechanical properties and cost makes it a very good alternative to concrete as an environmentally friendly building material, due to its high strength and low cost [ 11 ].…”

Bamboo constitutes a family of plants that are very promising and interesting as renewable materials for both large and small structure construction. To be used as an alternative to traditional materials; the understanding of its morphology and mechanical behavior is of crucial importance. As the distribution of fibers and vascular bundles differs for each type of bamboo; several bamboo types have been characterized: Phyllostachys aurea (PA), Arundinaria amabilis (AA) and Dendrocalamus strictus (DS). Morphological analysis has been performed by optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Differences in density; surface morphology and wall thickness have been found. In fact; PA and AA have shown a great morphological regularity; while DS presents the greatest thickness; to the point that it can be considered full culm. The plant’s own ducts constitute a very important factor for future impregnations and the optimization of mechanical properties for structure construction.
