This study presents a cross-regional analysis of the embedment strength and geometrical characteristics of Gigantochloa Scortechinii (G.scortechinii) and Dendrocalamus Asper (D. asper), two widely used bamboo species in Malaysia and Indonesia. A total of 1080 specimens were tested using three embedment methodologies namely Single Half-Hole (SHH), Full-Hole (FH), and Double Half-Hole (DHH) with 6 mm and 10 mm bolts at top, middle, and bottom culm positions. The results indicate that embedment strength is significantly influenced by bolt size, test method, culm position, species, and region. D. asper demonstrated superior embedment strength and wall thickness, while Malaysian samples generally outperformed Indonesian samples. Moisture content and density varied with culm height and region, showing higher values in both Malaysia and Indonesia specimens. Failure mechanisms were predominantly governed by grain alignment, with observed modes including yielding, splitting, and surface cracking, typically initiating at the base of pre-drilled holes. Culm position also affected mechanical behavior, with higher strength recorded toward the top. These findings underscore the impact of anatomical and environmental factors on bamboo performance, supporting the need for localized material data in structural applications. The study offers essential insights to advance bamboo standardization and its use as a sustainable construction material.
