Study on Compressive Strength of Semantan Bamboo Culm (Gigantochloa Scortechinii)

Abstract:

Bamboo is well known as the oldest structural material that posses unique anatomical structure and superior mechanical properties. It has become a subject of interest worldwide and research is being conducted for its structural applications. Structural applications pay more attention on safety, durability and mechanical properties. Many studies carried out previously indeed have shown superior strength of bamboo. In this study, the compressive strength of Semantan bamboo culm (Gigantochloa scortechinii) was determined. Semantan bamboo was harvested from a local bamboo plantation in Malaysia. Prior to drying, bamboo culms were cross cut into shorter length. Specimens from four different locations namely top, middle top, middle bottom and bottom were chosen. They were further group into two portions (node and internode). The comparison of compressive strength between bamboo with skin and bamboo without skin were also carried out. The tests were conducted in parallel direction. The compressive strength at different location is significantly different from each other. Middle top with skin at internode portion has the highest value for ultimate compression stress, compression modulus of elasticity and compression stress at proportional limit.
