Petung Bamboo Strips Woven Reinforced Epoxy Composite (PeBaSWoREC): Tensile Strength Analysis

Natural fiber, especially bamboo, which is abundant in Indonesia, has the potential to be developed as an engineering material by material engineering. One of them is engineering in the field of composites. Utilization of bamboo fiber as an alternative material can replace the function of synthetic fibers in a variety of industrial and household equipment. Selection of fibers in the field of composite synthetic fibers into natural fibers. Bamboo composite is the most developed material. This is evidenced by the many studies that have been carried out. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of the tensile test due to the long immersion in river water (brackish water) with the tensile strength specimen testing method based on ASTM D638-02 type I standard.
