Experimental data from strengthening bamboo reinforcement using adhesives and hose-clamps

The bamboo treatment process starts with cutting, soaking in water, draining in free air, reinforcing in the fireplace, first-stage adhesive coating, hose-clamp installation, second-stage adhesive coating, and sand resurfacing. Data was taken from experimental testing of bamboo materials and bond strength tests of bamboo reinforcement in the laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Brawijaya Malang. The aim of treating and strengthening bamboo reinforcement is to overcome low-load capacity and prevent collapse due to slippage in bamboo reinforced concrete elements. Adhesive coating is employed to increase durability and prevent water absorption, while installing hose-clamps increases bamboo reinforcement slip resistance. The process outlined here represents the way to approach bamboo reinforcement, and laboratory data is processed into graphic images and tables of bond strength of bamboo reinforcement providing the basis for further research. This article comprises a standard operating procedure for treatment of bamboo reinforcement, graphic images, documentation photos, and data tables. The data is related to “Enhancing bamboo reinforcement using a hose-clamp to increase bond-stress and slip resistance” [1].

Experimental design, materials, and methods
Bamboo petung (Dendrocalamus asper), features purplish black bamboo shoots, covered with feathers (miang) which resemble brown to black velvet. The large vertebra are 40e50cm long, and 12e18cm in diameter. Overall, petung bamboo reaches 20 m in height, with a curved tip, with color Specifications Table   Subject Engineering Specific subject area Civil and Structural Engineering Type of data Table, image How data were acquired Data was obtained from two experimental tests, namely the pull-out test (Fig. 14) and the beam flexural test (Fig. 16). Then, the test data is processed and analyzed into table data, image data, and documentation data Data format Raw and analyzed Parameters for data collection The main requirement for using bamboo as a concrete reinforcement is initial treatment. This involves the use of adhesives and hose-clamps to effectively increase the bond strength of bamboo reinforcement. Therefore a standard operating procedure and test data need to be established for the development of further research Description of data collection Bond strength data was obtained from testing bamboo reinforcement specimens after different treatments. Data from each specimen is processed and analyzed into table data, image data, and photo data which are described as single data. This single data is collected together, processed, compared, re-analyzed into

Value of the Data
This data is useful as scientific evidence about treatment methods for bamboo used as concrete reinforcement. This data benefits researchers and rural communities with an abundance of bamboo. This data includes several bamboo treatment methods that can be used as a basis for further research development.
The data on the effects of adhesives and hose-clamps on bond strength can be used as a basis for further research, especially on tensile elements such as truss, length of distribution, etc. The added value of this data is that it encourages new efforts in the strengthening of bamboo reinforcement using adhesives and hose clamps for concrete reinforcement, using renewable and low-cost materials to empower poor communities in disadvantaged village areas e especially bamboo farming communities.   varying from green, dark green, purplish green, whitish green, or with white spots because of lichen. The nodes are surrounded by aerial roots. The thickness of the bamboo wall is between 11 and 36mm (Brink, M, 2008) in Wikipedia Indonesia [3]. Standard operating procedure (SOP) for preparing bamboo reinforcement includes installing hoseclamps, waterproof coating, sand coating, pull-out test setting, and flexural test setting.
Step 1: Bamboo cutting. The bamboo used was at least three years old, with white spots, as shown in Fig. 4. Bamboo stems used are 6 m long from their base. This is because stems exhibit stronger mechanical properties and thickness up to 6 m. After logging, bamboo is cut to the size planned, and soaked in water for more than     a month. Bamboo reinforcement pieces are cut to a length of approximately 1100 Â 15mm. The number of nodes varies between two and three pieces.
Step 2: Drying of bamboo in free air for ±1 month [1,2,4] after soaking in water, as shown in Fig. 5.
Step 3: Fireplace treatment and adjustment of dimensions, as shown in Fig. 6.
Step 4: Fireplace and treating the surface of the bamboo reinforcement with a grinding machine, as shown in Fig. 7.
Step 6: The initial coating of adhesive Sikadur®-752, and installation of hose-clamps on the bamboo reinforcement, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10.    Instructions for installing hose-clamps: The initial stage of Sikadur®-752 adhesive surfacing is carried out after the fireplace treatment, based on the planned dimensions. Sikadur®-752 surfacing is carried out until it is even. Installation of hose-clamps is carried out after the first Sikadur®-752 layer is dry. The hose-clamps are installed in two ways, namely (1) by loosening the nut-bolts of the hoseclamps and directly inserting from the end of the bamboo reinforcement, or (2) opening the hose-clamps and installing them at the point of the installation plan. Hose-clamps are tightened with a screwdriver, turned until it stops. There should be no additional tightening, so as to avoid defects and waterproof coating leaks on the bamboo reinforcement. After the clamps are installed, a second Sikadur®-752 surfacing is carried out. The coating of sand on bamboo reinforcement is applied after the second layer of Sikadur®-752 adhesive is half dry, as shown in Fig. 11.     Step 7: The construction of pull-out test specimens and flexural test specimens of bamboo reinforcement, as shown in Fig. 12.
Step 8: Pull-out test setting. The bamboo reinforcement bond strength test uses a conventional pullout test method [5]. Specimen details and pull-out test settings are shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 14.
Step 9: The flexural test setting. This employs the four-point flexural test method. Details, geometry, and flexural test settings are shown in Fig. 15 and Fig. 16.
