Abstract

CIRO VELASQUEZ, Héctor José; OSORIO SARAZ, Jairo Alexander  and  VELEZ RESTREPO, Juan Manuel. DETERMINATION OF THE MECHANICAL RESISTANCE TO TENSION AND SHEARING IN THE GUADUA ANGUSTIFOLIA KUNTH. Rev. Fac. Nac. Agron. Medellín [online]. 2005, vol.58, n.1, pp.2709-2715. ISSN 0304-2847.

The ultimate shear and tension stress values were determined to the Guadua angustifolia kunth. The statistical results indicated mean values of tension and shear stress of 190,70MPa (1945,92 kgf/cm²) and 5,57 MPa (56,84 kgf/cm²), respectively, indicating that the material as engineering element has a higher mechanical resistance in the direction parallel to the fibers.

Keywords : Guadua angustifolia Kunth; tension stress; shear stress.
