INTRODUCTION TO BAMBOO


Bamboo is a woody grass. It is the fastest-growing woody
plant in the world.



Some species of bamboo grow so fast you can almost see
them growing.



They are capable of growing 60 cm or more per day.



However, the growth rate is dependent on local soil and
climatic conditions.



Bamboo are found in diverse climates, from cold mountains
to hot tropical regions like East Asia, Northern Australia,
West to India and the Himalayas.

India is home to almost 45 % of
world's bamboo forests
4.5 M tons annually produced from 8.96
m ha.
BASIC STRUCTURE OF BAMBOO


In bamboo, the inter nodal regions of the stem are hollow
and the vascular bundles in the cross section are scattered
throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement.
ADVANTAGES


Low-cost and environment friendly.



Light weight compared to steel.



Shock absorbing and thus earthquake resistant.



It uses less fossil fuel to manufacture.



Bamboo can prevent pollution by absorbing large amounts of
nitrogen from waste water.



And also reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.



Its abundance in tropical and subtropical regions makes it an
economically advantageous material.

BASIC PROPERTIES OF BAMBOO
1. TENSILE STRESS AND UNIT WEIGHT



The common tensile stress in steel reinforcement is 160
N/mm2 and in bamboo 370 N/mm2.



The mass per volume of steel is 7850 kg/m3 and of bamboo is
about 500-600 kg/m3.



Evidently bamboo will be cheaper because the price of
bamboo per weight will be less than half that of steel.
2. MODULUS OF ELASTICITY


The cellulose fibers in bamboo act as reinforcement similar
to reinforcing steel bars in concrete.



The distribution of these fibers increases from the inside to
the outside.



The E-modulus for cellulose is 70 000 N/mm2 and about 50%
of the cross-section of the fiber is cellulose; the E of the fiber
is 35 000 N/mm2.



In most bamboos, fibers constitute about 60% on the outside
and 10% on the inside.


The density of the fibers in the cross-section of a bamboo
shell varies along its thickness.



This presents a functionally gradient material, evolved
according to the state of “stress distribution” in its
natural environment.
3.

ANISOTROPIC PROPERTIES

Bamboo is an anisotropic material.
 There are cellulose fibres in the longitudinal direction,
which is strong and stiff and in the transverse direction
there is lignin, which is soft and brittle.


4.

SHRINKAGE

Bamboo shrinks more than wood when it loses water.
 The canes can tear apart at the nodes.
 Bamboo shrinks in a cross section of 10-16 %. Therefore it
is necessary to take essential measures to prevent water
loss when used as a building material.

5.

DURABILTY



Bamboo with low humidity is less prone to mould attacks
especially when humidity content is less than 15%.



Quality of bamboo increase with a decrease in its
humidity content.



Bamboo to be treated with a preservative, needs to be
dry to facilitate penetration.



Bamboo can be dried in air, or by green house process,
or by oven, or by fire.

Contd…..
Contd…



The durability of bamboo depends strongly on the
preservative treatment methods in accordance with basic
requirements.



Its chemical composition should not have any effect on
the bamboo fiber and once injected it must not be
washed out by rain or humidity.



Many steel and concrete structures built in the past 30
years reveal serious deterioration caused mainly by the
corrosion of the steel reinforcement.
PRESERVATION OF BAMBOO
Can be done by 2 methods:


NON-CHEMICAL METHOD or
(TRADITIONAL METHOD)



CHEMICAL METHOD
1,

NON CHEMICAL METHODS OR TRADITIONAL METHOD

Smoking: Bamboo culms are placed above fireplaces inside the
house so that the smoke and heat rises up and both dry and
blacken the culms.
This is considered an effective treatment against insects and
fungi but aesthetically bad.
White washing: Bamboo culms and bamboo mats for housing
construction are often painted with slaked lime. Plastering is also
a common practice using cow dung mixed with either lime
Curing: Curing involves harvested culms, with branches and
leaves intact, in open air.
Soaking: The culms are submerged in either stagnant or
running water, or mud for several weeks
2.

CHEMICAL METHODS

IS 401:2001 Code of Practice for Preservation of Timber
1. Surface application ( brushing, dipping)

3. Boucheire Process
2. Hot & Cold Method

4. Inter Nodal Injection
PRESERVATIVES RECOMMENDED
 Coal Tar Creosote
 Copper – chrome - arsenic compositions
 Acid- cupric – chromate composition
 Copper – chrome- born composition

 Copper zinc – napthanate
EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE


As said earlier, bamboo is a perfect material for
earthquakes it is lightweight, and the hollow form gives
much stiffness.



But some can ask how to assess whether a bamboo house
would survive an earthquake of a given intensity? But for
that A dynamic test on a full-scale house is extremely
expensive that can‟t be possible.



So that, At the National Bamboo Project of Costa Rica,
only typical walls were tested, using a static test. The wall
was fixed on a steel frame and using a hydraulic jack, a
horizontal force was applied at an upper corner and in the
plane of the wall.
eg:---
Eg:-A panel made of split bamboo.
The hydraulic jack, which applies
horizontal force, can be seen at
the top right corner of the frame.


This jack simulates the effect
of earthquake. Different walls
have been tested with and
without mortar, etc. The results
were more than satisfactory.



The deformation being
measured at the lower end of a
panel with plaster.



The deformation was 120 mm,
without any visual damage to
the plaster and the panel.



From this reading the bamboo
housing system was assessed
as earthquake-resistant.



The real proof came in April
1991, when about 20 bamboo
houses survived quite near to
the epicenter of a 7.5
Magnitude earthquake.
REPLACEMENT OF MUD OR
BRICK WALLS WITH BAMBOO
REINFORCED CONCRETE
PANEL


In this case bamboo meshes are used as reinforced
material in concrete. The use of bamboo mesh
panels as wall makes the structure economical,
shock absorbing and environment-friendly.
Concrete Mix Proportion


The same mix proportions which are used in case of
steel reinforced slabs can be used but it is preferred to
use concrete which has high early strength cement so as
to reduce cracks caused by swelling of bamboo.



The concrete used in the panels is lean mixture with mix
proportions of 1:2:4 of cement: fine aggregate: course
aggregate and water to cement ratio of 0.4, all measured
by weight.
BAMBOO FRAMEWORK


The bamboo used in the panels was allowed to dry for
two to three weeks before construction of the panels, so
as to remove all the moisture present in the bamboo.



Then a framework of bamboo strips is constructed by
cross-linking the strips.



To avoid swelling of bamboo strips, a thin coating of
asphalt is applied, as thick coating will lubricate the
surface and thus weaken the bond between bamboo and
concrete.



This bamboo framework can also be brought from the
market as it is readily available.


Three cubes of 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm and three
cylinders of 150 mm × 300 mm were casted for finding out
the 28 days compressive strength.



The average compressive strength of the cube and
cylinder were found 19.89 N/mm2 and 19.32 N/mm2,
respectively.
COST COMPARISION
Previous Study concludes that…..


The strength of bamboo concrete panels is quite higher
than the mud wall and use of bamboo is highly
recommended in flood prone areas.



The bamboo concrete panels are much more durable.



The initial cost of the bamboo-concrete panels is higher
but the maintenance cost is lower as compared to mud
walls.



The technology evolved can be effectively adopted for
construction of low-cost houses with cost ranging from
Rs 180 to 250/feet2 depending upon the design of the
house and nature of interior finish, and also upon the
local conditions.


Construction of bamboo panels does not require much
skill and can be easily done.



Mud walls get washed in case of floods which do not
happen in case of bamboo reinforced concrete walls.



For regions, where the availability of steel is limited and
plain concrete members are commonly being used, the
use of reinforced bamboo concrete is highly
recommended.



Asphalt coating on the bamboo mat and sand spraying
increase the bond between concrete and bamboo.
STRESS STRAIN DISTRIBUTION
STRESS AND STRAIN DISTRIBUTION IN AN
ELEMENT SUBJECTED TO BENDING

o D, d and b are the total, the effective depth and the
width of the bending element respectively.
o Abt is the area of bamboo subjected to tension, εc and fc
are compression strain and stress of the concrete, εbt
and fbt are tensile strain and stress in bamboo.


In stage 1 for a small load, the stress and strain are in linear
elastic range.



In stage 2 With the increase of the applied load the stress
diagram in the compression zone of concrete continues to be
non-linear before its ultimate strength „„fcu‟‟ and bamboo in
tension starts to break from its extreme lower layer and hence,
starting the third stage.
Contd…..
Contd…..



In stage 3 the diagram of normal compression zone of
concrete is of parabolic shape. However, for the
development of formulae for the practical design a
rectangular shape is adopted.

Depending on the percentage of bamboo
reinforcement three cases may occur:
 the case with under-reinforcement, where the failure of
bamboo leads to the collapse of the bending element.


with over-reinforcement, where the collapse of the
element occurs due to compression failure of concrete
and



the balanced case, where both concrete and bamboo
could fail simultaneously.

Specific gravity at test = W/ V
Adjusted specific gravity = (W/V) X [100/(100+M)]
Where
W = mass of sample in g
V = volume of the sample and
M = moisture content, percent.
3. COMPRESSION PARALLEL TO GRAIN TEST
The width = 2 * thickness.
 The length = 4 * thickness (minimum of 8 cm).
 Thickness = thickness of the splint.
 The dimensions shall be measured correct to 0.01 cm.
 The specimen shall be compressed vertically along the
grain through a self-adjusting hemispherical loading block.
Lateral supports shall be provided to the specimen.
 The load shall be applied in a uniform rate of motion of
moving head equal to 0.6 mm per minute till maximum load
is reached and a failure is indicated.

SHEAR PARALLEL TO GRAIN TEST

The test specimen length = 6 cm
 Width = 3.5 cm.
 A step notch of 1 x 1 cm shall be made at one of the corners
of the specimen for seating the shearing tool.
 The specimen shall be supported in a vertical plane at the
platform of the testing machine such that the shearing
portion may remain outside. The shearing tool fixed on the

Where

S = maximum shearing stress in kg/cm2,
P = maximum shearing load in kg,
L= length of shearing surface in cm, and
h = thickness of specimen in cm
SOME DESIGN PARAMETERS
1. CONCRETE MIX


The same mix designs can be used as would
normally be used with steel reinforced concrete.



Concrete slump should be as low as workability will
allow
2. SPACING OF BAMBOO
1-



Bamboo reinforcement should not be placed less than
1/2 inches from the face of the concrete surface.



The clear spacing between bamboo rods or splints should
not be less than the maximum size aggregate plus
1/4
inch.



Reinforcement should be evenly spaced and lashed
together on short sticks placed at right angles to the main
reinforcement.



Bamboo must be securely tied down before placing the
concrete. It should be fixed at regular intervals of 3 to 4 feet
to prevent it from floating up in the concrete during
placement and vibration.
3. ALLOWABLE STRESSES
Instead of the limit state design procedure, allowable
stress design can be adopted. Allowable stresses can be
derived from test results with the next formula.
σ = Rk x G x D / S
Where

σ is the allowable stress in N/mm2 ,
 Rk is the characteristic value,
 G is the modification for the difference between
laboratory quality and practice; default value 0.5,
 D is the modification value for duration of load:
- 1.0 for permanent load,
- 1.25 for permanent plus temporary load,
- 1.5 for the above plus wind load.
 S is the factor of safety, default value 2.25.

In ROOFS such as:
Bamboo trusses
Bamboo tile roofing
Thatch roofing
IN BAMBOO WALLING/CEILING SUCH AS:
1.

Bajareque wall: This wall-building technique is very wellknown in Latin America. Bamboo strips are tied on either
side of timber and then intermediate space is filled with
mortar.

2.

Bamboo board wall: This
is a common method of
construction in Indonesia.

3. Wattle wall: These walls consist primarily of bamboo or reed
lath used as a base for application of a mud plaster to one or
both sides. A mixture of clay and organic fibre is used as
plaster. The bamboo in the vertical position is more durable
than in horizontal direction
IN BAMBOO FLOORING SUCH AS:


Bamboo can be used as flooring material due to its better
wear and tear resistance and its resilience properties.
Whole culms act as frame work and the floor covering is
done using split bamboo, bamboo boards, mats etc by
means of wire lashing these to the frame
IN REED BOARDS SUCH AS:


Reed boards are made by flat pressing the reed at high
temperatures. These reed boards are used in elements
like flooring, walls, ceiling and roofing. They can also be
used for partitions, doors, windows etc.



IN SCAFFOLDING SUCH AS:
Bamboo poles lashed together have been used as
scaffolding in high rise structures due to their strength and
resilience. The timber planks can be replaced with
bamboo culms and these can be lashed to the vertical
culms. The working platforms for masons can also be built
of bamboo
IN FOUNDATIONS SUCH AS :


Bamboo in direct ground contact: Bamboo is placed
either on the surface or buried. For strength and stability,
large diameter and thick walled sections of bamboo with
closely spaced nodes should be used.



Bamboo
on
rock
or
preformed
concrete
footings: where bamboo is being used for bearings, it
should be placed out of ground contact on footings of
either rock or preformed concrete.



Bamboo incorporated in to concrete footings: the
poles are directly fit into concrete footing.



Composite bamboo/concrete columns: a concrete
extension is given to a bamboo post using a plastic tube of
the same diameter.

DISADVANTAGES


It is not that uniform, i.e., large varieties of bamboo are
found having different tensile strength.



It has tendency to absorb water and also to release
water on drying.



Bamboo wood is easily infected by wood-boring insects
and attracts living organisms, such as, fungi and
insects because of its high content of nutrients unless
treated with wood preservatives or kept very dry.



It is susceptible to catch fire as compared to steel.
CONCLUSION


Since bamboo is an environment friendly material it
should give more importance.



Bamboo is very light in weight with compare to steel so
dead load of the member can be decreased with use of
it.



Bamboo is easily avail material so it is economic
material and by using it we can reduced the cost of
construction.



Since bamboo is very effective in seismic resistance,
use of it should be safe.

  • 2. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION  USE OF BAMBOO IN CONSTRUCTION  ADVANTAGES OF BAMBOO  BASIC PROPERTIES OF BAMBOO  PRESERVATION OF BAMBOO  STRESS-STRAIN BEHAVIOUR OF BAMBOO  TESTS  BAMBOO AS CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL  SOME DESIGN PARAMETERS  CONCLUSION  REFERENCES 
  • 3. INTRODUCTION TO BAMBOO  Bamboo is a woody grass. It is the fastest-growing woody plant in the world.  Some species of bamboo grow so fast you can almost see them growing.  They are capable of growing 60 cm or more per day.  However, the growth rate is dependent on local soil and climatic conditions.  Bamboo are found in diverse climates, from cold mountains to hot tropical regions like East Asia, Northern Australia, West to India and the Himalayas.
  • 4. BAMBOO RESOURCES IN INDIA MAJOR BAMBOO GROWING REGIONS / STATES AREA Gross ( % ) Share North East Madhya Pradesh Maharashtra Orissa Andhra Pradesh Karnataka Other States (Kerala, UP, Jharkhand, West Bengal) 28.0 20.3 9.9 8.7 7.4 5.5 20.2 66 12 5 7 2 3 5 India is home to almost 45 % of world's bamboo forests 4.5 M tons annually produced from 8.96 m ha.
  • 5. BASIC STRUCTURE OF BAMBOO  In bamboo, the inter nodal regions of the stem are hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement.
  • 6. ADVANTAGES  Low-cost and environment friendly.  Light weight compared to steel.  Shock absorbing and thus earthquake resistant.  It uses less fossil fuel to manufacture.  Bamboo can prevent pollution by absorbing large amounts of nitrogen from waste water.  And also reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.  Its abundance in tropical and subtropical regions makes it an economically advantageous material.
  • 7. USE OF BAMBOO IN CONSTRUCTION • Scaffolding • Reinforcement • Roofing • Walling • Doors & Windows
  • 9. 1. TENSILE STRESS AND UNIT WEIGHT  The common tensile stress in steel reinforcement is 160 N/mm2 and in bamboo 370 N/mm2.  The mass per volume of steel is 7850 kg/m3 and of bamboo is about 500-600 kg/m3.  Evidently bamboo will be cheaper because the price of bamboo per weight will be less than half that of steel.
  • 10. 2. MODULUS OF ELASTICITY  The cellulose fibers in bamboo act as reinforcement similar to reinforcing steel bars in concrete.  The distribution of these fibers increases from the inside to the outside.  The E-modulus for cellulose is 70 000 N/mm2 and about 50% of the cross-section of the fiber is cellulose; the E of the fiber is 35 000 N/mm2.  In most bamboos, fibers constitute about 60% on the outside and 10% on the inside.
  • 11.  The density of the fibers in the cross-section of a bamboo shell varies along its thickness.  This presents a functionally gradient material, evolved according to the state of “stress distribution” in its natural environment.
  • 12. 3. ANISOTROPIC PROPERTIES Bamboo is an anisotropic material.  There are cellulose fibres in the longitudinal direction, which is strong and stiff and in the transverse direction there is lignin, which is soft and brittle.  4. SHRINKAGE Bamboo shrinks more than wood when it loses water.  The canes can tear apart at the nodes.  Bamboo shrinks in a cross section of 10-16 %. Therefore it is necessary to take essential measures to prevent water loss when used as a building material. 
  • 13. 5. DURABILTY  Bamboo with low humidity is less prone to mould attacks especially when humidity content is less than 15%.  Quality of bamboo increase with a decrease in its humidity content.  Bamboo to be treated with a preservative, needs to be dry to facilitate penetration.  Bamboo can be dried in air, or by green house process, or by oven, or by fire. Contd…..
  • 14. Contd…  The durability of bamboo depends strongly on the preservative treatment methods in accordance with basic requirements.  Its chemical composition should not have any effect on the bamboo fiber and once injected it must not be washed out by rain or humidity.  Many steel and concrete structures built in the past 30 years reveal serious deterioration caused mainly by the corrosion of the steel reinforcement.
  • 15. PRESERVATION OF BAMBOO Can be done by 2 methods:  NON-CHEMICAL METHOD or (TRADITIONAL METHOD)  CHEMICAL METHOD
  • 16. 1, NON CHEMICAL METHODS OR TRADITIONAL METHOD Smoking: Bamboo culms are placed above fireplaces inside the house so that the smoke and heat rises up and both dry and blacken the culms. This is considered an effective treatment against insects and fungi but aesthetically bad. White washing: Bamboo culms and bamboo mats for housing construction are often painted with slaked lime. Plastering is also a common practice using cow dung mixed with either lime Curing: Curing involves harvested culms, with branches and leaves intact, in open air. Soaking: The culms are submerged in either stagnant or running water, or mud for several weeks
  • 17. 2. CHEMICAL METHODS IS 401:2001 Code of Practice for Preservation of Timber 1. Surface application ( brushing, dipping) 3. Boucheire Process 2. Hot & Cold Method 4. Inter Nodal Injection
  • 18. PRESERVATIVES RECOMMENDED  Coal Tar Creosote  Copper – chrome - arsenic compositions  Acid- cupric – chromate composition  Copper – chrome- born composition  Copper zinc – napthanate
  • 19. EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE  As said earlier, bamboo is a perfect material for earthquakes it is lightweight, and the hollow form gives much stiffness.  But some can ask how to assess whether a bamboo house would survive an earthquake of a given intensity? But for that A dynamic test on a full-scale house is extremely expensive that can‟t be possible.  So that, At the National Bamboo Project of Costa Rica, only typical walls were tested, using a static test. The wall was fixed on a steel frame and using a hydraulic jack, a horizontal force was applied at an upper corner and in the plane of the wall. eg:---
  • 20. Eg:-A panel made of split bamboo. The hydraulic jack, which applies horizontal force, can be seen at the top right corner of the frame.  This jack simulates the effect of earthquake. Different walls have been tested with and without mortar, etc. The results were more than satisfactory. 
  • 21.  The deformation being measured at the lower end of a panel with plaster.  The deformation was 120 mm, without any visual damage to the plaster and the panel.  From this reading the bamboo housing system was assessed as earthquake-resistant.  The real proof came in April 1991, when about 20 bamboo houses survived quite near to the epicenter of a 7.5 Magnitude earthquake.
  • 22. REPLACEMENT OF MUD OR BRICK WALLS WITH BAMBOO REINFORCED CONCRETE PANEL
  • 23.  In this case bamboo meshes are used as reinforced material in concrete. The use of bamboo mesh panels as wall makes the structure economical, shock absorbing and environment-friendly.
  • 24. Concrete Mix Proportion  The same mix proportions which are used in case of steel reinforced slabs can be used but it is preferred to use concrete which has high early strength cement so as to reduce cracks caused by swelling of bamboo.  The concrete used in the panels is lean mixture with mix proportions of 1:2:4 of cement: fine aggregate: course aggregate and water to cement ratio of 0.4, all measured by weight.
  • 25. BAMBOO FRAMEWORK  The bamboo used in the panels was allowed to dry for two to three weeks before construction of the panels, so as to remove all the moisture present in the bamboo.  Then a framework of bamboo strips is constructed by cross-linking the strips.  To avoid swelling of bamboo strips, a thin coating of asphalt is applied, as thick coating will lubricate the surface and thus weaken the bond between bamboo and concrete.  This bamboo framework can also be brought from the market as it is readily available.
  • 26.  Three cubes of 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm and three cylinders of 150 mm × 300 mm were casted for finding out the 28 days compressive strength.  The average compressive strength of the cube and cylinder were found 19.89 N/mm2 and 19.32 N/mm2, respectively.
  • 28. Previous Study concludes that…..  The strength of bamboo concrete panels is quite higher than the mud wall and use of bamboo is highly recommended in flood prone areas.  The bamboo concrete panels are much more durable.  The initial cost of the bamboo-concrete panels is higher but the maintenance cost is lower as compared to mud walls.  The technology evolved can be effectively adopted for construction of low-cost houses with cost ranging from Rs 180 to 250/feet2 depending upon the design of the house and nature of interior finish, and also upon the local conditions.
  • 29.  Construction of bamboo panels does not require much skill and can be easily done.  Mud walls get washed in case of floods which do not happen in case of bamboo reinforced concrete walls.  For regions, where the availability of steel is limited and plain concrete members are commonly being used, the use of reinforced bamboo concrete is highly recommended.  Asphalt coating on the bamboo mat and sand spraying increase the bond between concrete and bamboo.
  • 31. STRESS AND STRAIN DISTRIBUTION IN AN ELEMENT SUBJECTED TO BENDING o D, d and b are the total, the effective depth and the width of the bending element respectively. o Abt is the area of bamboo subjected to tension, εc and fc are compression strain and stress of the concrete, εbt and fbt are tensile strain and stress in bamboo.
  • 32.  In stage 1 for a small load, the stress and strain are in linear elastic range.  In stage 2 With the increase of the applied load the stress diagram in the compression zone of concrete continues to be non-linear before its ultimate strength „„fcu‟‟ and bamboo in tension starts to break from its extreme lower layer and hence, starting the third stage. Contd…..
  • 33. Contd…..  In stage 3 the diagram of normal compression zone of concrete is of parabolic shape. However, for the development of formulae for the practical design a rectangular shape is adopted. Depending on the percentage of bamboo reinforcement three cases may occur:  the case with under-reinforcement, where the failure of bamboo leads to the collapse of the bending element.  with over-reinforcement, where the collapse of the element occurs due to compression failure of concrete and  the balanced case, where both concrete and bamboo could fail simultaneously.
  • 34. TESTS ON BAMBOO  1. STATIC BENDING TEST  2. SPECIFIC GRAVITY  3. COMPRESSION PARALLEL TO GRAIN TEST  4. SHEAR PARALLEL TO GRAIN TEST
  • 35. 1.      STATIC BENDING TEST The width = 2 * thickness. The depth = Thickness. The length = 14 * depth + (5 cm). The specimen shall be free from any defect like crack, crookedness, etc. The test specimen shall be placed horizontally on two parallel rollers of about 2 cm diameter spaced at a distance centre to centre of 14 * depth of the specimen.  The load shall be applied through another roller of 2 cm diameter at the centre on a line parallel to the end rollers.  The load shall be applied continuously throughout the test such that the movable head of the testing machine moves, at a uniform rate of O.OOO25 l2/h cm per minute. Contd……
  • 36. CONTD…..    The test shall be continued till a failure is indicated. Deflections shall be measured at the centre of the specimen by means of a dial gauge or telescope and scale correct to 0.2 mm. The deflection shall be noted at suitable load intervals such that 10 to 15 readings may be recorded before proportional limit. The deflection shall also be noted at first failure and at the point of sudden change in deflection or load. The following characteristics shall be calculated by the formula given against each: Fibre stress at proportional limit (kgf/cm2) = 3PL/2bh2 Modulus of rupture (kgf/cm2) = 3 P’L/2bh2 Modulus of elasticity (kgf/cm2) = PL3/4bh3d Where P= load at proportional limit in kg,b= width of specimen in cm, h= depth of specimen in cm,L= span in cm, P‟ = maximum load in kgf, and d = deflection at proportional limit in cm
  • 37. 2. SPECIFIC GRAVITY Specific gravity is determined from a sample taken from static bending test specimen. After carrying out static bending test a sample approximately 2.0 x 2.0 cm in size shall be cut from the sound portion of tested specimen. Volume is measured with the help of mercury volume-meter. The specific gravity shall be calculated correct to 3 places of decimal by the formula given: Specific gravity at test = W/ V Adjusted specific gravity = (W/V) X [100/(100+M)] Where W = mass of sample in g V = volume of the sample and M = moisture content, percent.
  • 38. 3. COMPRESSION PARALLEL TO GRAIN TEST The width = 2 * thickness.  The length = 4 * thickness (minimum of 8 cm).  Thickness = thickness of the splint.  The dimensions shall be measured correct to 0.01 cm.  The specimen shall be compressed vertically along the grain through a self-adjusting hemispherical loading block. Lateral supports shall be provided to the specimen.  The load shall be applied in a uniform rate of motion of moving head equal to 0.6 mm per minute till maximum load is reached and a failure is indicated. Maximum compressive stress (kgf/cm2) = P/bh  Where P = maximum crushing load in kg, b = width of the specimen in cm, and h = thickness of the specimen in cm.
  • 39. 4. SHEAR PARALLEL TO GRAIN TEST The test specimen length = 6 cm  Width = 3.5 cm.  A step notch of 1 x 1 cm shall be made at one of the corners of the specimen for seating the shearing tool.  The specimen shall be supported in a vertical plane at the platform of the testing machine such that the shearing portion may remain outside. The shearing tool fixed on the moving head shall be set at the notch. The load shall be applied at a uniform rate of moving head equal to 0.4 mm per minute through the shearing tool. Maximum shearing stress; S = P/Lh  Where S = maximum shearing stress in kg/cm2, P = maximum shearing load in kg, L= length of shearing surface in cm, and h = thickness of specimen in cm
  • 40. SOME DESIGN PARAMETERS 1. CONCRETE MIX  The same mix designs can be used as would normally be used with steel reinforced concrete.  Concrete slump should be as low as workability will allow
  • 41. 2. SPACING OF BAMBOO 1-  Bamboo reinforcement should not be placed less than 1/2 inches from the face of the concrete surface.  The clear spacing between bamboo rods or splints should not be less than the maximum size aggregate plus 1/4 inch.  Reinforcement should be evenly spaced and lashed together on short sticks placed at right angles to the main reinforcement.  Bamboo must be securely tied down before placing the concrete. It should be fixed at regular intervals of 3 to 4 feet to prevent it from floating up in the concrete during placement and vibration.
  • 42. 3. ALLOWABLE STRESSES Instead of the limit state design procedure, allowable stress design can be adopted. Allowable stresses can be derived from test results with the next formula. σ = Rk x G x D / S Where σ is the allowable stress in N/mm2 ,  Rk is the characteristic value,  G is the modification for the difference between laboratory quality and practice; default value 0.5,  D is the modification value for duration of load: - 1.0 for permanent load, - 1.25 for permanent plus temporary load, - 1.5 for the above plus wind load.  S is the factor of safety, default value 2.25. 
  • 43. BAMBOO AS A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL 1. 2. 3. In ROOFS such as: Bamboo trusses Bamboo tile roofing Thatch roofing
  • 44. IN BAMBOO WALLING/CEILING SUCH AS: 1. Bajareque wall: This wall-building technique is very wellknown in Latin America. Bamboo strips are tied on either side of timber and then intermediate space is filled with mortar. 2. Bamboo board wall: This is a common method of construction in Indonesia. 3. Wattle wall: These walls consist primarily of bamboo or reed lath used as a base for application of a mud plaster to one or both sides. A mixture of clay and organic fibre is used as plaster. The bamboo in the vertical position is more durable than in horizontal direction
  • 45. IN BAMBOO FLOORING SUCH AS:  Bamboo can be used as flooring material due to its better wear and tear resistance and its resilience properties. Whole culms act as frame work and the floor covering is done using split bamboo, bamboo boards, mats etc by means of wire lashing these to the frame
  • 46. IN REED BOARDS SUCH AS:  Reed boards are made by flat pressing the reed at high temperatures. These reed boards are used in elements like flooring, walls, ceiling and roofing. They can also be used for partitions, doors, windows etc.  IN SCAFFOLDING SUCH AS: Bamboo poles lashed together have been used as scaffolding in high rise structures due to their strength and resilience. The timber planks can be replaced with bamboo culms and these can be lashed to the vertical culms. The working platforms for masons can also be built of bamboo
  • 47. IN FOUNDATIONS SUCH AS :  Bamboo in direct ground contact: Bamboo is placed either on the surface or buried. For strength and stability, large diameter and thick walled sections of bamboo with closely spaced nodes should be used.  Bamboo on rock or preformed concrete footings: where bamboo is being used for bearings, it should be placed out of ground contact on footings of either rock or preformed concrete.  Bamboo incorporated in to concrete footings: the poles are directly fit into concrete footing.  Composite bamboo/concrete columns: a concrete extension is given to a bamboo post using a plastic tube of the same diameter.

  • 56. DISADVANTAGES  It is not that uniform, i.e., large varieties of bamboo are found having different tensile strength.  It has tendency to absorb water and also to release water on drying.  Bamboo wood is easily infected by wood-boring insects and attracts living organisms, such as, fungi and insects because of its high content of nutrients unless treated with wood preservatives or kept very dry.  It is susceptible to catch fire as compared to steel.
  • 57. CONCLUSION  Since bamboo is an environment friendly material it should give more importance.  Bamboo is very light in weight with compare to steel so dead load of the member can be decreased with use of it.  Bamboo is easily avail material so it is economic material and by using it we can reduced the cost of construction.  Since bamboo is very effective in seismic resistance, use of it should be safe.
