Investigation into the effects of humidity on the mechanical and physical properties of bamboo

This paper presents an investigation into the influence of humidity on the mass changes and the mechanical (buckling, toughness) properties of Pseudosasa amabilis bamboo. The tests were carried out in different conditions, the dry laboratory conditions and the wet chamber conditions. A detailed statistical analysis of measures of central tendency was carried out and models for predicting the behaviour of properties in dependence on the number of days spent in wet conditions were obtained. The COV results for mass and mechanical properties are below 30%. The values of R2 obtained from the model are: mass = 0.9652, buckling = 0.1630, and toughness = 0.0000.
