Abstract |
|
There exists a great need for effective low cost alternative material as reinforcement for cement composites especially, in developing countries. Bamboo is one of the alternative materials with strong potential for reinforcing the cement matrices. Unlike steel, throughout casting and action of concrete, reinforced bamboo absorbs water and expands, which ends in radial cracking of encompassing concrete. This paper presents the results of experimental investigations created to evaluate potential of bamboo to be used as concrete reinforcement. |
