Abstract
Bamboo is an abundant material and easily available in Indonesia. In addition to having high compressive strength and tensile strength as well as ease of obtaining and low prices, bamboo is a consideration and focus in developing in the world of construction today. In this study, bamboo is used for soil stabilization, where bamboo is used in the form of fibre. This research focuses on the strength properties of various types of bamboo. The focus is to investigate the relationship between the maximum tensile strength of bamboo and the flexibility of bamboo in soil stabilization. This is very important, because bamboo fibers used for soil stabilization rely on their tensile strength rather than their compressive strength. Thus, the optimum tensile strength and flexibility of bamboo must be of particular concern. From the results of the study of the tensile strength of two types of bamboo, namely Apus Bamboo and Java Bamboo, the Apus Bamboo results were found to have a higher tensile strength of 225.57 mpa with maximum flexibility of 19.99 mm and 43.76 mpa for tensile strength of Javanese Bamboo with a level of flexibility of 10.26 mm.
Highlights
Bamboo has a long and established history as a building material throughout the world in both the tropics and sub-tropics
The main topic is to know the relationship beetwen tensile strength and flexibility of bamboo which will be used for soil stabilization
Problem Formulation Based on the background study, this particular study aimed at finding out the relation between tensile strength and flexibility of bamboo and to find which parts of bamboo which have good relation between tensile strength and flexibility of bamboo which will be used for soil stabilization
Summary
Bamboo has a long and established history as a building material throughout the world in both the tropics and sub-tropics. In addition to its regenerative nature, Janssen J.A. explained that bamboo forests can absorb CO2 levels of 62 tons / hectare / year while other new plantations can only absorb around 15 tons / hectare / year so that bamboo plants indirectly release oxygen (O2) as a result of photosynthesis 35% more than other trees [4][5]. The disadvantages of this bamboo plant are its resistance to the attack of the powder beetle, the signs of which are powdery flour and the appearance of small holes around the bamboo books / segments. The main topic is to know the relationship beetwen tensile strength and flexibility of bamboo which will be used for soil stabilization
