Se hicieron ensayos preliminares de tensión, obteniéndose el módulo elástico y la resistencia a la tensión. Se determinó por medio de un análisis estadístico ANOVA que las propiedades mecánicas eran similares en toda la zona de la basa. De ahí, se extrajeron haces de fibras de forma aleatoria y una parte fue tratada con NaOH (mercerización). Posteriormente, se realizaron ensayos de tensión variando la longitud de calibración y, se calculó la resistencia a la tensión y el módulo elástico de los haces de fibras no tratados y tratados. Los mejores resultados pertenecieron a los haces de fibras tratados. Se concluye una buena correspondencia entre los resultados obtenidos y los reportados en la literatura.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Abstract In this article, bamboo fibre bundles of "Guadua Angustifolia Kunth" specie were isolated from different locations of the basa zone: upper, middle and lower, through mechanical extraction method. The elastic modulus and the tensile strength were obtained with preliminary tensile tests. Applying the statistical analysis known as ANOVA, it was determined that the mechanical properties are similar in all the extension of the basa zone. From there, fibre bundles were extracted randomly, and a part of the fibre bundles was treated with NaOH (mercerization). Later, tensile tests with different calibration lengths were made for calculate the elastic modulus and the tensile strength of the treated and untreated fibre bundles. Best results belonged to the treated fibre bundles. A good correspondence between the results obtained in this work and the results reported in the literature was concluded.]]></p></abstract>
