ABSTRACT: The search for an effective connection tool for assembling bamboo is mostly done
by researchers and architects. Either conventional or trying to change the bamboo into the form of
other materials. The search for a new connection tool wasn’t followed by test regarding the strength
of the bamboo strings against compressive and tensile forces. The goal of testing the strength of
the tool connected and bamboo aims to see the pattern of damage to the bamboo that will occur
due to the use of the tool connected. Testing is done by creating a model of the test object circuit
structure simply with the use of the tool Universal Testing Manual (UTM) Ibertest type of Eurotest.
The results of the test show a lot more damage caused by power urges the bamboo on the hollow
part of the bamboo as the space/layout of the connection pegs.
Keywords: connection tool, bamboo, tensile force, compressive force, the strength of the urges
1 INTRODUCTION
Many researchers, practitioners, and architects try to renew stitch bamboo as a building structure.
The update is an effort of invention and a creation tool to connect new use in stringing the bamboo
for the structure of the building. Morisco (1998) and Pathurrahman (1998) conducted a study
increase in the strength of the connection on the bamboo to make the connection fill the bamboo
with the aim of making the bamboo that will be spliced into a composite, similar to research done
by Hogan and Archer 2010) by filling in the mortar and gave the steel reinforcement on the part
of the bamboo that will be spliced. Nugraha (2012) conducted a similar study but using resin as a
material filler and did variation testing with a wide variety of corner styles (0 ◦ , 45 ◦ , 60 ◦ ).
Analysis of the resistance of the lateral joints of wood and mortar fillers, known as Morisco
Mardjono joints, was carried out by applying EYM (European Yield Theory). This analysis aims
to formulate the strength of the Morisco Mardjono lateral joint system which is influenced by
the geometry data connection, the bending moments of the bolts and bamboo fulcrums, and the
material fulcrum points (Awaludin 2012). However, testing the re-facing tool to connect the new
and the old did not do much. The physical condition of the bamboo, which is hollow, is composed
of parallel fiber; the nature of the expansion and shrinkage create a problem for the construction
of bamboo as a structural element of the building.
There are three common means of connecting: tie, stake, and substitution. It is necessary to test
the effectiveness of the power of each system based on materials used. In the coupling structure of
the building, the structural elements have to meet the requirements of the strength against a tensile
force and compressive force, or both because part of the structure is subjected to traction, pressure,
or both (Salvadori 1990). It turns out it is influenced also by how to compose the elements of the
structure of bamboo which will have an impact on the stability of the building reduction because of
the connection factors between bamboo stem by resistance elements (Sassu et al. 2012). A common
problem is to equate how to connect with the use of a connection system which isn’t an appropriate
function of the mechanic is received on a connection of the bamboo.
