Straw is an environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and abundant raw material for building boards. To assess the feasibility of using straw boards as alternative sheathing panels in light-steel-members such as walls and floors, the mechanical and thermal properties of straw boards with high densities were investigated. The straw boards involved in this study include five wheat straw strand boards (WSSB12, WSSB15, WSSB18, WSSB25, and WSSB30) and a paper straw board (PSB58). Mechanical properties, including compression, tension, and bending properties, were investigated by tests and a proposed prediction method of tensile strength. In the experimental studies of compression properties, the failure modes and characteristics of load-deformation curves of compressive specimens, and the parameters of compression properties, including the strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson ratio, were analyzed and summarized, and the differences in material directivity were discussed as well. The WSSBs were found to be transverse isotropic material with brittle characteristics in the plane, while the PSB showed similar brittle characteristics in the failure stage. Furthermore, the experimental studies of bending properties and similar analyses and summaries for test results were carried out. Results show that the bending strength is less than the compressive strength for WSSBs, while the case is just the opposite for PSB, and the elastic moduli of bending and compression are close for both WSSBs and PSB. Then, finite element models (FEMs) of the bending test specimens using the user material subroutine UMAT were developed to predict the tensile strength ft, and the prediction results were qualitatively assessed based on the correlation between ft and fb, fc. As verified, the prediction results of ft are believable, and the prediction method proposed in this study is feasible. Such a prediction method could efficiently determine the tensile strength of similar brittle materials withou
