What? Tensile strength of steel is like 400-1200MPa, Bamboo is < 100 MPa.
- trhway 8y agostrictly speaking you're right. My statement is more along those lines: http://www.ijstr.org/final-print/nov2015/Comparative-Analysis-Of-The-Tensile-Strength-Of-Bamboo-And-Reinforcement-Steel-Bars-As-Structural-Member-In-Building-Construction.pdf http://www.ijstr.org/final-print/nov2015/Comparative-Analysi... "Although, the tensile strength of steel is 2.5-3.0 times higher than bamboo and the specific gravity 6-8 times that of bamboo; but by counting their tensile strength/unit weight (bamboo vs steel), the tensile strength of bamboo is 3-4 times that of steel."
