However, few scientific facts were published to corroborate these statements. Furthermore, due to the many different species of bamboo, and the vagaries of working with a natural material, i.e. not man-made, the qualitative information found regarding the material and engineering properties varied widely, and it was challenging to establish engineering design parameters. Furthermore, the information found relating to bamboo in South Africa focussed mainly on bamboo as a source for biofuel, and the growing of bamboo for such purposes
