Physical properties of bamboo are the fact that it generically varies greatly from species to species. The culms are more a less firm and has a decent length to it which also has the hollow internodes which do make it reasonably light to handle. Each bamboo has their own type of style which varies specifically from age, species, the age of the culm, the moisture around it alongside the portion of culm. The actual strength of a bamboo pole which has a high parallel grain. But, there are some negative points such as that it fails to shear just before it fails in the tension, which then the modulus of the main rupture of the bamboo will then be able to calculate the main strength of the bamboo itself.
The different components/ingredients for bamboo are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. You’ve got other constituents such as the resins, tannins, waxes. The main formation varies within different section of years.
The average mechanical properties are how bamboo is the in higher level of extent within flexibility with its exceptional long lasted vegetation length. Excessively with a lower weight gain towards It and its lower cost rate.
But on an average for example if the bamboo was in its natural living state, bamboo is more less cost effective to be used as a productive material due liability to decay & to insect attack. So before making any big decision before using it for something more specifically, it needs to be treated before taking any step.
What majority people believe to think is that bamboo is a tree where in fact it’s a grass. As in there’s also a fast growth rate for it where in some circumstances it would have the strength and metabolism.
its Uses and Advantages in Construction Works. Bamboo as a building material has high compressive strength and low weight has been one of the most used building materials as support for concrete, especially in those locations where it is found in abundance.
The best bamboos for building typically belong to one of these four genera: Guadua, Dendrocalamus, Bambusa and Phyllostachys.
Bamboo, like true wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures. Bamboo has a higher compressive strength than wood, brick or concrete and a tensile strength that rivals steel.
the embodied energy efficient due to the material of the building walls. The materials were the composition of bamboo and the soil block. Both materials have relatively low embodied energy. The aim of the study was to obtain composition of bamboo and soil blocks wall that have a capable of producing embodied energy efficient. The method used was the optimization of all the embodied energy that is generated by a high composition of bamboo and soil block walls.

Bamboos are treated in such a way that they can obtain different structural shapes and structures as they grow up over the time period.
Such as a squared cross section which can be obtained by even compressing the growing stalk of the bamboo within a square section. Another is the arch shapes of the bamboo; this would cost less compared to the normal average price you get for bamboo.
For bamboo to be part of any interest, it must be re developed to their own standards and how they would like to have it, using it for their own desired and purposed shapes.
Bamboo has a higher tensile strength than steel due to it being highly fibered. The capability of bamboo is to resist the fire which is very high and it can be used to withstand a very high temperature rate such as 4000 °C. Compared to other materials such as brick and cement, bamboo causes no harm to anyone plus they are really cost effective and easy to maintain and use. Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages such as that the bamboo shrinks to such an extent that it is much greater than other types of timber even when it loses water.
