They cultivate bamboo triangular Bogotá DC, February 14, 2014 - Agencia de Noticias UN - wood of bamboo , for its cylindrical shape and high strength , it is difficult to manipulate to get plates for the industry. A work U.N. allowed to obtain triangular guaduas . s Naturally having the bamboo , the laminate, which consumes a large amount of adhesive and processing time , is small . To be triangular , the tablets that are obtained for the laminates are of greater thickness and area ; also reduce waste ( sawdust ) , the glue consumption and the machining process . The tablets obtained have a traditional shape sections of maximum 25 mm width and 5 mm thickness. With the triangular tablets obtainable between 40mm and 60 mm of width and thickness can be increased from 3 mm to 4 mm, which reduces by half the costs . For the bamboo with this form , there is a process that was created in Japan and documented several years ago by Professor Oscar Hidalgo , National University of Colombia . This involves putting a cast on regrowth (or renewal ) of bamboo at four weeks of starting their growth and remove the six months. By the pressure of the mold, the bamboo takes the form that you want to give . The Japanese and Hidalgo did with bamboo square base and now a group of students of Agricultural Engineering A the triangular develop . Walter Barreto , professor and architect who heads the group, says the project aims to improve the mold to make mass production and mechanized that may be useful to farmers interested in marketing the product , either in the Coffee Zone , Cundinamarca, Santander or Cauca where water is produced. Likewise examines whether the triangular shape makes it tougher for construction, although , according to Barreto, determine this requires a larger sample . The bamboo has many uses . The most common is the manufacture of caissons ( unrecoverable molds or formwork for concrete ), but is also very important to use that is given in the crafts ( especially the coffee ) , and in large buildings , such as the Colombian architect Simon Velez . On the use of laminated bamboo , the U.N. pioneered and has already developed applications for housing from this plant family of grasses .
