Strength properties of raffia bamboo
AbstractThe results of tensile and bending tests carried out on specimens of raffia bamboo are presented. Raffia bamboo are natural materials commonly used for the construction of buildings and household furniture in South Eastern Nigeria. The test results show that the material is capable of attaining an ultimate tensile strength of about 150 N/mm2 and a modulus of elasticity in tension of about 24 kN/mm2. These strength properties compare favourably with those of most natural timber species and also some oriented polymers used in fibre reinforced concrete.
