Tengsile Strength Test, Gigantochloa apus

Abstract

Bamboo forms an important component in the traditional material building of Indonesia Rural. Bamboo known live any place at Indonesia, is a renewable material with extensive application prospects. It has been expected to be a sustainable alternative for more traditional construction materials, such as steel, light weight steel, alminum and timber. As known tensile strength of Mild Steel between 45 and 50 N/mm2, lightweight steel between 25 and 30 N/mm2, timber between 14 and 16 N/mm2, bamboo between 16 and 18 N/mm2. Tensile strength is defined as a stress, which is measured as force per unit area, for some non-homogeneous materials (or for assembled components) it can be reported just as a force or as a force per unit width. In the International System of Units (SI). This paper presents the mechanical test properties of Gigantochloa apus in the top, middle, and top part. Recording average mechanical test of Gigantochloa apus in the top part 15.5 N/mm; Middle part 17.8 N/mm²; Rear part 16.4 N/mm2. The Conclusion average of mechanical properties of Gigantochloa apus above 17-18 N/mm2 (hard timber about 15-16 N/mm2), Gigantochloa apus is very cheap, easy getting anywhere.
