Strength Properties of Bamboo Fiber Reinforced Concrete

Abstract

A comparative study of the experimental results of the properties concrete with variable percentage of ratios natural fiber with Concrete. The Bamboo was used in structural element like supports, columns, roofs etc. and in the construction of the building. For the construction work concrete is used as the basic materials. The concrete is strong in compression but fragile in the tensile strength. It has become involved in making concrete using natural materials. Bamboo fibre with high tensile strength is expected to contribute significantly to quick growth, large growth distribution and low-cost earthquake-resistant construction and seismic retrofit skill. This thesis explores the mechanical properties of reinforced concrete made of bamboo fibre. In order to study the basic concrete properties such as compressive power, split tensile strength, this research was carried out to study the basic concrete properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and Flexural strength by adding in volume of concrete at 0%, 0.5%,1.0%,1.5%,2.0% and 2.5% with concrete and finally the results were compared with conventional concrete and bamboo fiber concrete.
