Abstract
Rattan has found various engineering application, especially in furniture industry, however its potential engineering application has not been fully realized because of lack of information of its mechanical properties . It is therefore the objective of this paper is to report some of the recent research work conducted to investigate some of mechanical properties of rattan. The principal tests performed were compression strength parallel to grain in green and dry conditions.
