Bamboo as reinforcing material in concrete structures: A literature study

M Sadique Ameen, Debarati Datta

Abstract

The production of conventional building materials such as steel, concrete, and brick causes severe exploitation of natural resources and emission of greenhouse gases. Therefore, alternative eco-friendly, sustainable, and inexpensive building materials are required. Bamboo is a natural material which can replace steel in various structures. Several studies have evaluated the potential of bamboo as a steel replacement in structures. This paper provides a literature review on the use of bamboo-reinforced concretes (BRC) in various countries.

Keywords
