Bamboo is generally stronger than pine wood. While pine is a versatile and widely used wood, bamboo has a higher tensile strength and is less likely to warp or split. According to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the tensile strength of bamboo is approximately 28,000 to 35,000 pounds per square inch (psi), compared to pine's tensile strength of around 5,000 to 6,000 psi. This significant difference in strength makes bamboo a preferred choice for applications requiring durability and resistance to bending and breaking. Additionally, bamboo has a higher modulus of elasticity, which measures its ability to deform under stress, further contributing to its superior strength.
