Bamboo is a natural material that can replace wood, but the bamboo weakness is easily attacked by powder beetle and a bad connection system. a simple method of bamboo connection system often uses fibbers, ropes or rattan. However, this method cannot guarantee the unity of structural elements, over time the bonds will become saggy because the shrinkage that is affected by temperature changes. Another alternative can be done by using the bolt or the Cendani bamboo ( Bambusa multiplex ) as shear connector. The purpose of research is to know the ability of the bolt and the Cendani bamboo the shear connector in an element structures of bamboo. The research method is done by combining three pieces of bamboo with mortar filler using the bolt and Cendani bamboo as a shear connector, then apply the load to the ultimate limit. The result showed that use of bolt as the shear connector was stronger than Cendani bamboo. This is available with the results of the higher tensile strength of the bolt compared by the tensile strength of Cendani bamboo.
