“…This range of MOE is consistent with that of Young's modulus from tensile tests of Moso (Amada and Untao, 2001;Nogata and Takahashi, 1995;Shao et al, 2010). The range of densities of the Guadua specimens, roughly 500 to 1000 kg/m 3 , was higher than that of the Moso and Tre Gai specimens.…”

“…Since Moso bamboo is the most important species commercially, most studies of mechanical properties of bamboo have been done on Moso. Nogata and Takahashi, Amada et al, and Shao et al are a few to study axial tensile properties with respect to this gradient, by testing tensile specimens from slices at different locations in Moso culms (Amada et al, 1997;Amada and Untao, 2001;Nogata and Takahashi, 1995;Shao et al, 2010). These studies consistently find that the axial Young's modulus ranges from around 5 to 25 GPa.…”

“…These studies consistently find that the axial Young's modulus ranges from around 5 to 25 GPa. The axial tensile strengths from these studies are less consistent, but the majority of data fall in the 100 to 400 MPa range (Amada et al, 1997;Amada and Untao, 2001;Nogata and Takahashi, 1995;Shao et al, 2010). Lo et al investigate axial compressive strength using full cylindrical sections of Moso bamboo culms with varying longitudinal position and fiber volume fraction, finding a range of 45 to 65 MPa (Lo et al, 2008).…”

Bamboo is an underutilized resource widely available in countries with rapidly developing economies. Structural bamboo products, analogous to wood products, allow flexibility in the shape and dimensions of bamboo structural members. Here, the ultrastructure, microstructure, cell wall properties and flexural properties of three species of bamboo (Moso, Guadua and Tre Gai) are compared. At a given density, the axial modulus of elasticity of Guadua is higher than that of Moso or Tre Gai, which are similar; ultrastructural results suggest that Guadua has a higher solid cell wall stiffness. At a given density, their moduli of rupture are similar.

“…Therefore, the combination of two given materials and natural fibers produces a stronger and more corrosion-resistant composite material. It also improves the stiffness, strength, and moisture-resistant behavior of the composite (Li et al 2002;Yao and Li 2003;Van der Lugt et al 2006;Obataya et al 2007;Biswas and Satapathy 2010;Shao et al 2010;Porras and Maronan 2012;Verma and Chariar 2012;Yeh and Lin 2012). There are also reviews on bamboo research findings (Rassiah et al 2013.…”

The fatigue and fracture properties of bamboo fiber composites made of woven layers were investigated. This study utilized a specific type of bamboo species named Gigantochloa scortechinii (Buluh Semantan). In these experiments, unsaturated polyester (UP) and bamboo fiber (BF) strips were prepared through a hand lay-up technique using 3-mm thick aluminum mould. The composite bamboo strips had a thickness of 1.5 mm. The strips were woven together to make a single layer. The layer was then laminated into several thicknesses. The specimens were then characterized using fatigue and fracture tests. A fatigue limit of 30 MPa and fracture toughness of 5 to 8 MPa √ were obtained. These findings suggest that the bamboo strips, based on unsaturated polyester, provided relatively good fatigue and fracture properties and a good method of reinforcing fibers to combat fatigue and fracture failures.

“…2014). The manufacturing process, mechanical behavior, and performance of laminated bamboo lumber have been previously studied (Obataya et al 2007;Shao et al 2010;Zhu et al 2011). Aimed at higher efficiency and mechanical performance of bamboo-based composite material, a new product of bamboo scrimber has been explored, of which the hot-press technology, glue immersion, and process parameters were studied (Zhang et al 2008;Wang et al 2013;Yu et al 2014).…”

The objective of this study was to provide fundamental parameters for the utilization of bamboo scrimber in the building structure field as a green building material. Both static tensile and compressive tests were conducted on bamboo scrimber, with 180 specimens for compressive tests and 173 specimens for tensile tests. The normal and lognormal distributions were selected to fit the experimental data. The design values were calculated according to the Chinese allowable stress design method and ASTM D2915 (2003). The results showed that both tensile strength (UTS) and compressive strength (CS) parallel to the fiber of bamboo scrimber were significantly higher than those of wood and other bamboobased composite materials. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and chi-squared test results indicated that a lognormal distribution was a good fit for the UTS and CS except for the fitting result of UTS by the chi-squared test. The calculated design values of UTS and CS using ASTM D2915 (2003) were higher compared with those found using the Chinese allowable stress design method.
