Culms representing before, during and after flowering phases were subjected to testing for certain strength properties in round and split forms. Round bamboo showed higher values in compression parallel to grain in culms before flowering phase, while static bending values were higher in culms during flowering phase. In split bamboo, strength properties (maximum crushing strength and static bending) were more in culms of after flowering (air-dry) phase than before and during flowering phase (green).Keywords

Based on tests conducted on small clear specimens of timber, the physical and mechanical properties of E. citriodora are reported and discussed. The safe working stresses and suitable indices have also been evaluated and compared with those of Tectona grandis. Based on suitability coefficients, E. citriodora has been recommended for utilization for several end uses.Keywords

One of the greatest achievements of man is the design and development of a variety of watercraft suitable for marine and riverine purposes and safer for the environment. From ancient times, timber was the main component for the construction of these crafts, until it was replaced by iron/steel. As the size of the vessels increased to accommodate more cargo and overseas trade became more frequent, superior quality timber was used in the construction of vessels. Among the timbers used, teak was mostly preferred for building boats and ships. Many ships have been explored and excavated, and the timber used has been identified, but a detailed microstructural analysis has not been presented. The Cara Merchant or Quedagh Merchant ship, built in Surat, Gujarat, India was pirated by Captain Kidd, and subsequently wrecked off the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic in 1699. Indiana University, USA, carried out exploration to locate Cara Merchant. This communication presents a comparative study of the anatomical analysis of the microstructure of a wood sample with the wood from the wrecked Cara Merchant. This study is an attempt to support the use of teak in boat and shipbuilding as mentioned in the literature.Keywords
