Abstract
Dry bamboo culms of Dendrocalamus strictus were processed into thin laminas and cold pressed using epoxy resin to produce layered bamboo epoxy composite laminates. Mechanical properties of layered bamboo–epoxy composite laminates including tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and screw holding capability have been evaluated. Mode of failure were identified at macroscopic level as suggested in ASTM standard and their mechanism were examined at microscopic level using SEM analysis of fractured surfaces under different type of tests.
