A Review Study on Sustainable Construction using Bamboo

In India the construction industry, uses the most of green clean energy and also produces most of the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which is a main greenhouse gas, which is very harmful the to the environment and living beings. To counteract this horrible environmental problem, we have a better alternative option “Bamboo�, which is economical, eco-friendly, easily available and also have a very good tensile strength, also the production of one ton of steel and concrete emits approximately more than two tonnes and one tonne respectively, of carbon dioxide gas, whereas production of one tonne of bamboo consumes approximately more than one tonne of carbon dioxide gas from the environment. Bamboos are evergreen perennial flowering plants in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass. Bamboo is a sustainable, economical, orthotropic, natural, lightweight, non corrosive and easily available material. One of the major disadvantages of bamboo is that it attracts living organism such as fungi and insects. Bamboo is more prone to insects than other trees and grasses because it has a high content of nutrients. In order to overcome this problem, it becomes necessary to treat bamboo properly to protect it from the environment effect. Therefore, in this study, a review of the existing research work on Bamboo Reinforced Concrete with the special importance of the several factors, which are considered as the demerits of bamboo reinforced concrete construction. This research study may serve as the dream of common people to have their own home, come true.
