COMPARITIVE STUDY ON REPLACEMENT OF STEEL REINFORCEMENT WITH BAMBOO REINFORCEMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Steel is one of the conventional material which is used for reinforcement in concrete. But depending upon cost and availability, hence it is required to replace the steel with some other suitable materials as reinforcement is now a major concern. Bamboo is one of the alternate material used as a replacement of steel in the construction of minor structures, especially in the countries like India which is a developing country, But the use of bamboo reinforcement in concrete until today is very limited because of various uncertainties. Since bamboo is a material which is natural obtained, it is a cheap material and also readily available material in nature, if properties of bamboo is studied than it can be a substitute material for steel in reinforcing of concrete. To determine this, the tensile strength test is carried out on bamboo strips, with bamboo having one node at midspan, two nodes at either ends and without node are performed. Bamboo strips of length 30cm with same cross sections are used in this test. Also flexural strength test of bamboo reinforced beam is done to characterize the performance of bamboo as reinforcement. Doubly bamboo reinforced beams of 750 mm length having 150 mm width and depth is tested and is compared with plain concrete beam and steel reinforced beam.
