Abstract
The main purpose of this study was analysis the effect of oil treatment of Ethiopian lowland bamboo on tensile and bending strength of bamboo. In this study Ethiopian lowland bamboo treated by oil in different treatment condition with hot oil and without hot oil. The treatment temperatures were 100, 130 and 160 °C with sun flower oil and treatment duration of 30, 60 and 90 min and bamboo immersed in oil for 2, 4 and 6 days without heat. After oil treatment of bamboo tensile and three point bending experimental test were investigated for treated and untreated bamboo samples. The experimental result showed that from all condition of oil heat treatment best tensile results were bamboo treated at 100 °C with sun flower oil for a duration of 60 min and for bending bamboos treated at 160 °C for a duration of 30 min. In addition to this bamboo treated without hot oil for a duration of 2, 4 and 6 days had good tensile and bending strength at long treatment duration.
