Gigantochloa atroviolacea is a medium-sized, strong, and heavy bamboo species. Its strength properties were tested in air-dried conditions (approx. 15% moisture) with the following results: average MOR 94.11 N/mm², compressive strength parallel to grain 35.74 N/mm², maximum tensile strength 237.4 N/mm². Average shear strength ranged from 7.9 to 9.5 N/mm².
