ABSTRACT
In the developing countries, to build earthquake resistance construction along with seismic retrofit technology, the focus towards global warming problems along with sustainable society, production utilizing natural material, Bamboo lower-cost faster-growing and broad distribution of growth is promoted crucially. To get knowledge about the Bamboo Reinforced Concrete’s (BRC) mechanical behavior along with to verify the variations of structural properties betwixt Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) and BRC, researches have been made by several authors. BRC beams are simple, effective, along with cost-effective for rural construction and for which the trials are made in these studies. There is a huge concern over the lifespan of bamboo as it is employed as a substitute for steel; thus, it is enhanced by undergoing certain mechanical along with chemical treatments. The parametric study displays that regarding the robustness along with stability, bamboo is utilized in Reinforced Concrete (RC). Here, the Bamboo Reinforcement’s (BR) performance together with its durability is illustrated by assessing the laboratory determinations as of the available literature.
