Performances of Carbon Fiber Cloth Reinforced Bamboos

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber cloth reinforced bamboos. Using the carbon fiber cloth to reinforce circularly the bamboo can protect dry bursting of the bamboos and improve its mechanical performances. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the compressive strength, tensile strength and bending strength of bamboo reinforced with carbon fiber cloth. The mechanical performances of bamboos with and without reinforcing were compared and the efficient reinforcing method was suggested, with such method the compressive strength and bending strength of carbon fiber reinforced bamboos could be increased obviously compared with that of bamboos without reinforcing.
