Abstract
The purpose of using non-conventional materials brings economic, social and technical advantages. Bamboo can be considered as a non-conventional material, that exhibits fast growth and high yield. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to present to professionals, the possibility of using bamboo as a structural element. This paper presents the results of recent research on bamboo of the Bambusa tuldoides species, performed at Federal Technological University of Paraná, Campus Pato Branco. The moisture content of the samples was around 13%. The study aims to determinate the mechanical compressive stress property of bamboo of the bottom and middle culms. The mean stress determined was 71.39 MPa for the bottom culms and 85.92 MPa for the middle culms. The mean elasticity’s modulus was 2512 MPa for the bottom culms and 2640 MPa for the middle culms. These results were distinct to the ones found in the literature, particularly in the elasticity’s modulus, verifying the need for further studies about the material.
