Dataset on the mechanical and physical characterization of the Ecuadorian Guadua angustifolia kunth bamboo culms belonging to "Cana Mansa" biotype.

ABSTRACT: This article presents a set of experimental data on the mechanical and physical properties of the Ecuadorian endemic bamboo species Guadua angustifolia kunth (Guadua a.k.), specifically the "Caña Mansa" biotype. The data on compressive, shear, tensile and bending strength, as well as the moisture content and density, were obtained by carrying out the corresponding tests following the ISO 22157:2019 standard. For this purpose, each bamboo culm examined was divided along its height into three sections that were thoroughly characterized. The equations used for the calculations of the mechanical and physical properties are described in detail for each test. Besides, the main mechanical properties of the characterized bamboo were compared to those of similar species reported in th
