Prospects for a method to infer non-destructively the strength of bamboo: a research proposal

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference proceeding › peer-review

Abstract

This paper commends the merit of the standards that have been published over the last
decade (e.g. ISO 22156 and NSR-10), but observes that these standards provide limited
guidance on ways to ensure building material will have adequate strength and stiffness. It is
recommended that a procedure similar to that used for timber – strength grading – is
researched, particularly the more efficient ‘machine strength grading’, though visual grading
for bamboo is discussed too. Evidence is presented that correlations between physical
properties – that are readily measured through non-destructive tests – and strength properties
can be inferred for bamboo; hence, in principle machine strength grading could be possible.
The limitations of the current data are stressed and a research proposal is presented.
