The research method was tensile strength test on the combination of agave fiber and bamboo fiber which was treated with alkaline solution (NaOH) and ethanol solution (C2H5OH) with percentages of solution of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%, for 2 hours and 4 hours immersion. Furthermore, the vibration test on the agave fiber and bamboo fiber composite was also done with a variation of four position placements of exciter. A simple pinch pedestal was used to get the value of personal frequency and stiffness of the composite beams made from agave fiber and bamboo fiber. The target to be achieved in the study is to produce composite beams with good mechanical properties. ## Keywords - Ultimate tensile strength - Fiber - Bamboo - Materials science - Agave - Composite material - Composite number - Tensile testing - Botany - Biology --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
