It is not yet widely used in the U.S. or other western 2012 countries however, partly because it is not yet included in building codes or safety An Updated Tribal and Subtribal Classification of the Bamboos (Poaceae: standards. To develop these, the mechanical properties of bamboo must be fully Bambusoideae) understood and documented.

Moshynets, Svetlana P. Shpylova, Vitalii A. Kordium, Geert Potters; pp. 11- properties for bamboos were selected and analyzed. Five mechanical properties were 18 reviewed: shear strength, compressive strength, tensile strength, modulus of rupture Identification of endophytic bacteria in Phyllostachys sp. and Fargesia sp. (MOR), and modulus of elasticity (MOE). Properties were found to have a wide range, Olena V. Moshynets, Judicaëlle Brunet, Geert Potters; pp. 19-26 so major variables were investigated: age, bamboo species, density, moisture Investigation on optimisation of kiln drying for the bamboo species Bambusa content, post-harvest treatment, and the testing standards employed. The findings stenostachya, Dendrocalamus asper and Thyrsostachys siamensis suggest no consistent correlations exist between mechanical property values Thi Kim Hong Tang, Johannes Welling, Thuy Dung Ho, Walter Liese; pp. 27-35 reported and these variables, although substantial variation was attributable to Flowering, reproductive biology and post flowering behaviour of species, moisture content, and the test standard used, and we present overall Dendrocalamus sikkimensis Gamble, in Kerala, India average values.
