INVESTIGATING TENSILE STRENGTH OF BAMBOO PETUNG (DENDROCALAMUS ASPER) TREATED SALTWATER AND MOLASSE COMPARED WITH STEEL REBAR REINFORCEMENT: AN EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2023, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
The use of steel leads to carbon production which can worsen global warming. An alternative material to replace steel becomes an urgent prerequisite that needs to be considered. Bamboo can be the main choice due to its characteristic biomass, environmentally friendly properties, and low cost. However, bamboo is still in deficit due to its natural properties. Therefore, its mechanical properties are demonstrated in the treatment of natural resources and biological wastes such as salt and molasses. Experimental tests and numerical simulations were performed to characterize its tensile properties. Furthermore, a nonlinear finite element analysis was built in ABAQUS and proposed with plasticity, ductile fracture, and damage modelling. The results show that simulation and experiment are in good agreement in representing bamboo and steel subjected to tensile loads. The use of bamboo as a substitute for steel can be considered an application of steel reinforcement to concrete and requires further research.
