Abstract

The current grading process of bamboo still relies on visual or conventional observations. Bamboo is a non-prismatic material, so it is challenging to determine its strength accurately without laboratory testing. One crucial parameter for predicting bamboo strength is the modulus of elasticity (MoE). This study focused on 12 stems of Petung Bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper), 12 stems of Wulung Bamboo (Gigantochloa atroviolacea), and 12 stems of Apus Bamboo (Giganthochloa apus) randomly selected from a bamboo store. Testing was conducted using the stress wave velocity method to obtain dynamic modulus of elasticity values (MOEd). Bamboo flexural testing (destructive) was performed to obtain static modulus of elasticity (MOEs) and bending strength (MOR) values for bamboo. Regression modelling of the relationship between MOEs and MOEd (using predicted volume) for bamboo, regardless of species, showed a relatively low coefficient of determination, i.e., 0.488. This implies that the longer the bamboo was tested, the lower the precision of its volume. Testing using detailed volume calculations for dynamic modulus of elasticity resulted in a relatively high coefficient of determination, precisely 0.8406.
