Abstract

The withdrawal capacity – as determined by a modified ASTM D1761 test – of screws embedded in Phyllostachys edulis bamboo culm walls is presented, demonstrating capacities and behaviour suitable for structural load bearing applications. This study considers twelve screw type-size combinations and considers whether these are predrilled or the screws are inserted without predrilling, resulting in 20 screw type-size-predrill combinations. For the better-performing screws, average withdrawal parameters exceeding fax = 40 N/mm2 were achieved; twice that determined for three-ply plywood having comparable thickness. Comparison with a comparable dataset of screw withdrawal tests from Guadua angustifolia Kunth bamboo indicates that the value of fax is likely species-dependent. In order to mitigate splitting upon screw insertion into bamboo, screw diameters generally less than 6 mm were required unless the screws are inserted into predrilled holes. There was no advantage observed to using self-drilling screws.
