Bambusa vulgaris culms sampled from the riverside of Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia were found to be suitable in the manufacture of cement bonded boards. The relatively high sugar content of the culms, however, was found to give a retarding effect on cement setting. In this study, cement ratio (1:3) was found to give better board properties. Board with a bamboo – cement ratio of 1 : 2.75 with the addition of 2% chemical additives produces an acceptable board which meet the requirements of the Malaysia Standard MS 934.
Bambusa bambos has been successfully planted in India to increase the productivity of bamboos. To prepare the biomass models for this species, equations were selected to estimate the green weight of tire whole bamboo culm, weights of the branches, leaves, and rhizomes. Diameter and height (DH) were found to be closely correlated with total above ground biomass and therefore selected for tire prediction of total biomass.
