Research on the Bending Properties of the Bamboo-Wood Container Flooring

Abstract:

In this paper, the bending properties of bamboo-wood container flooring and bamboo curtain-OSB container flooring were tested and the six-cycle artificial accelerated aging method of ASTM D1037 was conducted to evaluate the aging performance of two kinds of bamboo-wood container floorings. The modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) were tested in the longitudinal and transverse directions before and after aging. The results showed that both the bending strength and MOE decreased after aging. The retention ratios of MOR of the bamboo-wood container flooring and bamboo curtain-OSB container flooring were respectively 43.5%, 72.0%, and the retention ratios of MOE were 54.6%, 76.3%. In general, the effect of aging on the bamboo-wood container flooring was larger than that on the bamboo curtain-OSB container flooring.
