With the kind of help of Geo-Tech Industries we have completed our results for the structural testing of bamboo building parts. We now have a quite extensive record for all of our structural pieces which will help us prepare for our housing proto-type housing projects. We tested our members with qualified structural engineers present, as well as appropriate technology that Geotech was able to have us use while there. We are again grateful for their assistance. We found the results to be quite fascinating and matched our presumptions before hand. 
lAs we progress further with some of our other projects we will
be using the results to make sure that our designs work and
don't fall down.
This is assisted by two student interns from a civil engineering
college in Bangalore. They stayed there for some time, in the
work site in Peth. Nagaraj, and Kiran gave their time and help
in analyzing the structural parts before hand, and verified it
at Geo Tech Industries.

Good day
I am looking for some very low – tech bamboo info
I understand the felling – cross cutting – outer de nodding – splitting and inner de nodding processing
I wish to take the quartered culm and flatten it into a semi plank of 22mmx75mm which I believe can be done with heat and a roller type press
Can you help me with this
