Abstract:
Concrete is a basic material for construction used all over the world. Concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension. To counteract this steel is used as a reinforcement material to gain tension. The steel is expensive and corrodes easily which leads to deterioration of structure. This can be overcome by bamboo due to its properties like light weight, strength, durable and easily renewable. So, the traditional method of using steel reinforcement is replaced by using bamboo as a reinforcement material in construction industries. Bamboo is a natural, economical and abundant material. It is having required compression and tensile strength. The deflection in mid span can be reduced by providing bamboo reinforcement. We are going to compare the performance of steel and bamboo to find the optimum result.
