Abstract
This study was conducted to explore physical and mechanical properties of composite beams constructed from slats of Tali and Hitam bamboo. The beams (6 × 12 × 120 cm) were assembled with PF adhesive to make six types of composite beams as follow : an array of bamboo sheet without woven, a construction of sheets of woven bamboo, and the other four types were made from variation of 2 and 4 cm thick of woven and non-woven of bamboo’s sheets. The results showed that average of moisture content, specific gravity, thickness swelling, and internal bonding were 9.01, 0.71, 6.70, and 1.56 %, respectively. The MOE, MOR, and hardness were 7.9 GPa, 41, and 34 MPa, respectively. Those results suggested that these composite beams are suitable for flooring, wall construction, and a substitute for wood beam which applied by light loads.
