Abstract

Abstract: Recently, the demonstrable alternative material to conventional material in the construction field becoming very popular due to global warming issues and environmental issues. Steel is one of the considerable materials in construction which results in an increase in economical and non-renewability. So, it is suggested that an isotropic material called bamboo material as a reinforcement in concrete. Bamboo has a property of fast-growing nature and it has a tensile strength 1.5 times greater than steel which concludes that the strength properties of concrete has been enhanced by providing bamboo instead of steel. Since the bamboo used as an alternative for steel, the lifetime of bamboo is a major concern factor and hence it is improved by mechanical and chemical treatments. The parametric study shows that the utilization of bamboo in reinforced concrete based on their characteristic strength and durability. In this paper, the performance of bamboo reinforcement and its durability by studying the laboratory findings from the available literature are presented.
