The density and moisture content of bamboo culm which are basic requirement for effective analysis of its mechanical properties were investigated. The parameter studied were hardness and compressive strength of bamboo culms along different height sections which are at top, middle and bottom internode sections. The results showed that the strength of bamboo increases with length of culm for both hardness and compressive strength. The values for hardness strength for Bambusa vulgaris are 1083.33 N/mm2(top), 1000 N/mm2 (middle) and 777.78 N/mm2 (bottom), Dendrocalamus asper with 3194.44 N/mm2 (top),2222.22 N/mm2 (middle) and 1333.33 N/mm2 (bottom) and lastly Gigantochloa scortechinii with 263.89N/mm2 (top), 250 N/mm2 (middle) and 116.68 N/mm2 (bottom). The values for compressive strength for Bambusa vulgaris are 101.70 N/mm2 (top), 60.32 N/mm2 (middle) and 30.73 N/mm2 (bottom), while Dendrocalamus asper strength are 89.27 N/mm2 (top), 73.24 N/mm2 (middle) and 40.23 N/mm2 (bottom) and lastly Gigantochloa scortechinii with its strength of 121.06 N/mm2 (top), 89.23 N/mm2 (middle) and 76.46N/mm2 (bottom).
