Popis: Bamboo has three drying methods: open air drying; fire drying and kiln-drying. This work was carried out three drying methods for the three bamboo species: Dendrocalamus giganteus, Bambusa vulgaris vittata variation and Phyllostachys pubescens. We also analyzed the quality of the dried bamboo for cracks and used the parallel compression test in order to find which kind of bamboo showed higher strength in the parallel compression test to the fibers. We observed that the species showed cracks in the process of kiln drying, and changing color in the kiln drying and fire drying. Compared to open air drying, all species showed an absence of drying defects. We analysed the parallel compression test and the kiln drying was the best result presented for Phyllostachys pubescens and Dendrocalamus giganteus species.
