Comparison in the Physical and Strength Properties of 3 Year-Old Gigantochloa brang and G. Scortechinii.

摘要

ABSTRACT Relationships between physical and strength properties of Gigantochloa brang and G. scortechinii were investigated. The culms of the three-year-old bamboos were selected, harvested and processed for the studies. The moisture content (MC) of the bamboo in green condition ranged between 74.54 (G. brang) and 109.18 (G. scortechinii), the MC is higher in the internodes (94.45%) than in nodes (78.61%). Position in the internal layer has MC at 125.90%, middle at 83.82% and external at 49.87%.
