Abstract
⺠Edge bearing test to obtain transverse material properties of bamboo is proposed. ⺠Effect of through-culm-wall fiber gradation on edge bearing strength is explored. ⺠Strain profile shift of the neutral axis is less pronounced in thin wall sections. ⺠Observations will lead to more reliable through-wall properties being established. ⺠Properties may be used to refine modeling of full-culm bamboo materials.
