Abstract:
The main plants in Indonesian people's plantations are apus bamboo (Gigantochloa apus), wulung bamboo (Gigantochloa atroviolacea) and tutul bamboo (Bambusa maculat). Apart from being used as a craft material, bamboo is also suitable for boards in the form of laminated composites bamboo which are usually called laminated bamboo boards. One of the main criteria for laminated bamboo boards is their good adhesion, which is determined by their shear performance (shear strength). The shear strength of laminated bamboo boards is influenced by several factors such as the type of bamboo used, adhesive/matrix type and laminate configuration. This research used three variations of bamboo species: Gigantochloa apus (GA), Gigantochloa atroviolacea (GV) and Bambusa maculat (BM). The matrix/adhesive used is phenol resorcinol formaldehyde (PRF). The bamboo laminated composite arrangement or horizontal configuration is assembled into a three-layer structure using a hand lay up technique. Testing to determine the performance of bamboo laminated composites, with a shear test, using an Instron universal testing machine (UTM) (serial number CP105207), maximum load cell 100 kN with 8 Kg. The results show that the type of bamboo has an effect on the shear performance of bamboo laminate composites. The BM, GV, GA bamboo, respectively, have better performance, greater shear strength.
