The equation to calculate the diameter across all length of bamboo starting from point of 80 mm diameter is incompatible to use in madake bamboo as the type has longer parts with constant diameter. We confirmed that the diameter of bamboo can be calculated using quadratic equation for madake bamboo and linear equation for Moso bamboo, when the diameter at 1000mm from the ground is used as the parameter.
Both bamboos wall thickness could be calculated using linear equation. Through these studies, geometric nonlinear analysis where the results correspond sufficiently with the result of full-scale flexural test is feasible.
