Bamboo has greater tensile strength (or resistance to being pulled apart) than steel, and it withstands compression better than concrete. However, untreated bamboo will swell from water absorption, significantly lowering its effectiveness.
Bamboo's tensile strength is roughly 28,000 per square inch versus steel's 23,000.

Is a diamond stronger than a spiders web?
Pound for pound (or rather, microgram for microgram) spider silk has a tensile strength higher than high-grade steel, and about the same as Kevlar (the material used to make bulletproof vests).The reason we can tear through a web is only because the individual strands are so thin. If enough fibers are woven together, a thread made of spider silk could easily suspend a car - and at a fraction of the weight of a steel cable of similar strength.
Why is steel so strong?
Steel is strong because of its atomic structure. The arrangement of iron and carbon atoms creates a strong crystalline structure that can withstand heavy loads and stresses without deforming or breaking easily. Additionally, the presence of impurities and alloying elements in steel can further enhance its strength and toughness.
How strong is a spider compared to a human?
Spiders are generally not as strong as humans in terms of physical strength. However, they are often much stronger relative to their body size. Some spiders can produce silk that is stronger than steel on a per weight basis.
How does long does spider silk last?
Spider silk is a durable material, often compared to steel in terms of strength. In a natural environment, spider silk can last for several years without degrading. However, factors such as exposure to UV light, humidity, and temperature can affect its longevity.
How do you write tigers are stronger than lions?

What is strongest variety of silk?
Spider silk. Stronger than steel.
HOW did the Chinese Silk change the world?
silk changed the world by letting us have some silk in our clothing and did you know silk is stronger than steel!
What spider can spin a web five times stronger than steel?
Any web-spinning spider can do it, it is a property of spider silk. When it is said that spider silk is stronger than steel, this does not mean the webs themselves as is. It means that if you had enough spider silk to weave into the same thickness as a steel cable, the spider silk would have a tensile strength five times greater.
Why are Spider filaments stronger than steel but easily destroyed?
Spiders silk is stronger than steel wire of the same weight. Very fine steel wire is easily broken by hand, but if you could make spider silk of the same weight as normal steel wire it would be much harder to break.
What insect made material is stronger than steel?
Spider silk. The reason it seems so weak when you accidentally walk through a web is because it is so thin. If you could make spider silk thicker it would be stronger than a steel cable.
What is stronger metal or fabric?
Honestly, it depends. Pound for pound, there are a number of fabrics that are stronger than most metals. For instance, Kevlar is a fabric and is far stronger than steel. Golden orb spider silk has been woven into fabric and is far stronger than steel or Kevlar.
Is a diamond stronger than steel?
Yes. Actually... a diamond is NOT 'stronger' than steel. A diamond is 'harder' than steel, but it is not stronger.
Is steel stronger than nylon?

Is nickel stronger than steel?
