Abstract
Bamboo is a naturally sustainable material that has been used in construction for a very long time. Investigations have been carried out by various researchers on the feasibility of using bamboo for reinforcing concrete. However, the lack of construction codes and design procedures for bamboo reinforced concrete (BRC) structures is preventing structural engineers and construction firms from using bamboo in construction. Hence the present study reviews various BRC structural elements including beams, columns, slabs and walls so as to propose guidelines for using them confidently.
期刊介绍:
For concrete and other cementitious derivatives to be developed further, we need to understand the use of alternative hydraulically active materials used in combination with plain Portland Cement, sustainability and durability issues. Both fundamental and best practice issues need to be addressed.
Magazine of Concrete Research covers every aspect of concrete manufacture and behaviour from performance and evaluation of constituent materials to mix design, testing, durability, structural analysis and composite construction.
