“…The largest diameter of the bamboo culm (D. asper) tested in this research was only 10 cm, as presented in Figure 5b. However, the diameter of some big sympodial bamboo species (D. giganteus) reaches 20-30 cm [5]. D. giganteus is a giant tropical and subtropical clumping bamboo species that is widely distributed in Myanmar, Bhutan, China, and Thailand.…”

Bamboo as a Sustainable Building Material—Culm Characteristics and Properties

Bamboo culm is a renewable and lightweight material with high strength, particularly tensile strength. It is well accepted that bamboo culms have played a significant role in architecture because of their sustainable contribution. The culm characteristics and properties of three-year-old bamboo from five species (Dendrocalamus asper, Dendrocalamus sericeus, Dendrocalamus membranaceus, Thyrsostachys oliveri, and Phyllostachys makinoi) were investigated. The results show that each bamboo species has different culm characteristics along with culm length. Culm size, particularly the outer culm diameter and culm wall thickness, affects the ultimate load. These results confirm that a bigger culm with a thicker wall could receive more load. D. asper received the highest ultimate load, while T. oliveri received the lowest ultimate load. However, when calculating the test results for stress (load per cross-section area), P. Makinoi showed excellent mechanical properties, while D. asper showed the worst mechanical properties. This research promotes bamboo’s appropriate use for building applications and as a more sustainable material for architecture.

“…Bamboos are interesting plants in their growth, morphogenesis, taxonomy, distribution, ecology, reproduction as well as diversity (Sungkaew and Teerawatananon 2017). Bamboo belonging to the subfamily Bambusoideae of the family Poaceae and is widely distributed in most areas of the world (Sudchaleaw et al 2023).…”

“…Bambusa is a versatile plant that humans use for life. It is used as food, raw materials, building homes, musical instruments, and even for medicinal purposes (Sungkaew and Teerawatananon 2017;Sudchaleaw et al 2023). The indigenous knowledge of the use of Bambusa has been passed down from generation to generation in the communities, but some have been lost over time due to the social conditions changed and the rural lifestyle was gradually replaced by urban society.…”

Abstract. Saensouk P, Saensouk S, Sudchaleaw S, Sungkaew S. 2023. Chromosome number of three Bambusa species (Poaceae) in northeastern communities of Thailand. Biodiversitas 24: 4544-4547. Bambusa is a genus within subfamily Bambusoideae, family Poaceae. This study aimed to conduct the chromosome numbers of three Bambusa species in the northeastern Communities of Thailand. All three Bambusa species were studied with somatic chromosome numbers from root tips by squash methods. The somatic chromosome numbers, ploidy, and chromosome size in length from the root tips of three Bambusa species are provided. The somatic chromosome numbers range from 2n = 56 to 2n = 72. Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss was reported as 2n = 56 with high ploidy (heptaploid or 7x), B. burmanica Gamble was reported to be 2n = 72 with high ploidy (nonaploid or 9x), and B. tuldoides Munro was investigated to be 2n = 64 with high ploidy (octaploid or 8x). The basic chromosome number of three Bambusa species studied was x=8. The chromosome numbers of B. burmanica was studied for the first time. The chromosome length of all species was very short between 0.80 µm in B. burmanica and 1.30 µm in B. bambos.
