Abstract

This study investigates the effect of geometric and adhesive variables on the physical and mechanical properties of I-joist beams using Siam bamboo (Thyrsostachys siamensis) as the web and Acacia mangium as the flange. The research combines two experimental studies focusing on (1) the influence of web diameter (3 cm and 4 cm) and flange thickness (2, 2,5, and 3 cm), and (2) the effect of adhesive type (epoxy and polyurethane) and penetration depth (½, ¾, and full thickness of flange). All materials were conditioned to 12–14% moisture content before fabrication. Physical testing included moisture content and density, while mechanical testing consisted of flexural strength (MOE and MOR), tensile withdrawal strength, and failure mode analysis. Results showed that increasing web diameter and flange thickness contributed to higher density, MOE, and MOR values, with the best performance observed at 3 cm diameter and 3 cm flange thickness. Meanwhile, using epoxy adhesive with ¾ penetration depth significantly improved bonding strength and stiffness, achieving MOE values up to 22,361 kgf/cm² and MOR up to 132 kgf/cm². The most common failure modes were flange cracking and web detachment, particularly in beams with shallow penetration and larger diameters. This combined investigation confirms that optimizing geometric configuration and joint adhesion can significantly enhance the structural performance of bamboo-based I-joists, offering a viable solution for eco-friendly construction.

Abstract. Adzkia U, Nugroho N, Siregar IZ, Karlinasari L. 2020. Ultrastructure of royal palm (Roystonea regia) leaf sheath. Biodiversitas 21: 967-974. The royal palm (Roystonea regia (Kunth) F.Cook is one of the palm species that are many planted along the streets as part of urban landscapes. As biologically products, in nature they can self-cleaning with drop off their big leaves. The study aims to examine the morphological characteristics of ultrastructure and elemental content, crystallinity, as well as fibers derivation characteristics from the royal palm. The samples were taken out from leaf sheaths that divided into three sections along the width of i.e. outside, middle, and inside; in two conditions of leaf sheaths namely green and brownish-dry. The morphology structure and elemental content were observed by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), while the crystallinity was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and fiber characteristics were measured to determine cell dimensions as well as to calculate Runkle ratio (RR), muhlsteph ratio (MR), coefficient of rigidity (CR), felting powder (FP), and flexibility ratio (FR). The diameter of palm fiber bundles was decreased from outside towards inside. The model of vascular tissue was rounded which located in the central region of the fiber bundles. The silicon content in the inside section was lower than those in the middle and outside sections. It was in line with the degree of crystallinity in the inside section which that higher than other sections. The highest degree of crystallinity was about 18 %. The fiber length of royal palm leaf sheath was in values around 6000 ?m. However, the royal palm leaf sheath had thick fiber walls and thin lumen, as well as other fiber derivation characteristics of muhlsteph ratio, the coefficient of rigidity and the flexibility ratio, were in low-quality values. For that reason, the study provides information that the royal palm sheath was recommended as a composite reinforcing material.
