ABSTRACT = {In this work, we used tensile tests to analyze the tangential failure forms of raw bamboo and determine a relationship between tangential tensile strength, elastic modulus, position, density, and moisture content. We found that
the tangential mechanical properties of the culm wall were mainly dependent on the mechanical properties of the
basic structure of the thin wall. Formulas for calculating the tangential tensile strength of moso bamboo and
adjusting the moisture content were also determined. The tangential tensile strength and the tangential tensile
modulus of elasticity (TTMOE) followed: outer > middle > inner, and diaphragm > bamboo node > culm wall.
Below the fiber saturation point, the tangential tensile strength and TTMOE values of the bamboo gradually
decreased with increasing moisture content. When the moisture content was 15%, the tangential tensile strengths
of the inner, middle, outer, culm wall, bamboo node, and diaphragm samples of the five-year-old moso bamboo
were 3.17, 3.29, 3.31, 3.24, 3.67, and 8.85 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, their TTMOE values were 215.09,
227.98, 238.45, 224.04, 267.21, and 559.27 MPa, respectively. Hence, this study provides a theoretical basis for
future research on bamboo cracking.},
