Variation in the Fiber Percentage in Specimens of Laminated Bamboo Guadua angustifolia

Article Preview

Abstract:

Raw bamboo is a composite graded naturally material with variable distribution of fibers in the culm wall thickness and also in height. The strength and fiber volume fraction obtained in tests of round bamboo are very variable, while laminated bamboo has more uniform properties. The fiber volume fraction was determined in two groups of specimens of laminated bamboo Guadua angustifolia and also in two groups of bamboo clapboards. Although the average values of fiber volume fraction was around 45% for all cases, it was found that the coefficient of variation in the groups of specimens of laminated bamboo guadua was 6%, while in the groups of slats was 29%.
