Abstract Bamboo is a renewable natural building material with good mechanical properties. However, due to the heterogeneity and anisotropy of bamboo stalk, a large amount of material performance testing costs are required in
engineering applications. In this work, longitudinal compression, bending, longitudinal shear, longitudinal tensile,
transverse compression and transverse tensile tests of bamboo materials are conducted, considering the influence
of the bamboo nodes. The mechanical properties of the whole bamboo stalk with the wall thickness and outer
circumference are explored. Through univariate and multiple regression analysis, the relationship between
mechanical properties and wall thickness and perimeter More >
