    How would I test bamboo vs. steel reninforcement?

    I'm back again with another question! So I won 1st in Director's Choice in the State Science Fair and I was offered to continue my research in a lab setting! I understand that continuing to rely on bamboo rods would be impractical, they absorb water, are prone to igniting on fire, void in rod...

    How would I test bamboo vs. steel reninforcement?

    I actually got first in Materials Science! I'm supposed to give a presentation to the Rotary Club this Saturday, and the GA State Fair is next month! Bamboo withheld more mass than the steel ; I actually was unsure about which size rods to use since bamboo is really light while still...

    How would I test bamboo vs. steel reninforcement?

    Steel has strong tensile strength, but somewhere in my research I found that bamboo fibers have a pretty high tensile strength too. I'm using thin concrete models

    How would I test bamboo vs. steel reninforcement?

    Thank you for your reply! I actually went with this design and added more kettlebells on a chain until the tensile ends broke

    How would I test bamboo vs. steel reninforcement?

    I'm an 8th grader. Actually, I'm not sure if this belongs in this forum, either, but I'm doing a science fair project about bamboo being an alternative to steel reinforcement in concrete walls/buildings/infrastructure. The thing is, I'm having trouble with testing the models themselves. Should I...
