Creep behaviour of bamboo

The phenomenon of creep, particularly in anisotropic and fibre-reinforced materials, is critical to structural design. The objective of this study is to study the creep behaviour of bamboo in particular considering the effect of specimen orientation. The experiment is motivated by the restriction of sustained load on various materials, particularly fibre reinforced materials, due to creep. In this study, half of the radially-cut Bambusa...
