    Bamboo is used widely in building construction due to its high compressive strength and low weight. It can be used for foundations, flooring, roofs, walls, and joinery. Some key uses include bamboo foundations set on rock or concrete, split or flattened bamboo for flooring, bamboo as light-weight and sturdy roofing material using corrugated sheets or trusses, and vertical bamboo walls. Bamboo has advantages such as high tensile strength, fire resistance, light weight, and elasticity useful in earthquake areas. However, it requires preservation to prevent shrinkage and decay from moisture.

    BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION

    Bamboo as a building material has high compressive strength and low weight has been one of USES OF BAMBOO IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
    the most used building material as support for concrete, especially in those locations where it is
    found in abundance. 1. BAMBOO FOUNDATION :
    Bamboo as a building material is used for the construction of scaffolding, bridges and
    There is very limited use of bamboo as foundation material Strip Footing
    structures, houses.
    because when in contact with moisture laden surface they decay
    Due to a distinctive rhizome-dependent system, bamboos are one of the fastest-growing plants in
    fast. However, this issue can be tackled to quite an extent though Single Post Footing
    the world and their growth is three times faster than most other species of plants. They are
    proper treatment using appropriate chemicals.
    renewable and extremely versatile resource with multi-purpose usage.
    Nowadays, after global warming and sustainability issues are emerged, bamboo as building
    The various types of foundations constructed with bamboo are:
    materials is widely discussed and reviewed.
    a) Bamboo which is in direct contact with ground surface.
    b) Bamboo fixed to rock or preformed concrete footings
    c) Composite bamboo or concrete columns
    d) Bamboo piles

    2. BAMBOO FLOORING :
    3. BAMBOO ROOFING :
    The floor is raised above the ground creating a stilt type of construction
    that provides a covered storage area below the floor. The surface of the Bamboo is one of the best roofing materials and provides ample sturdiness
    earth floor can stabilize by paving it with crude bamboo boards made by to the structure. It is light weighted which makes them easy to install. The
    opening and flattening whole culms. bamboo roofs encompass purlins, rafters and trusses.
    BAMBOO COLUMNS BAMBOO SCAFFOLDING BAMBOO BRIDGES The various types of bamboo used are: Corrugated sheet
    Small Bamboo Culm Split Bamboo Culm Flattened Bamboo

    PROPERTY OF BAMBOO AS BUILDING CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL


    The compressive strength of bamboo is at least twice of concrete.
    Tensile strength of bamboo (28KN/sq.in) is close to steel (23KN/sq.in).
    Shear stress of bamboo fiber is higher than wood, even wider span than wood.
    Curving bamboo is possible without breaking or damage.

    4. BAMBOO WALLS :
    The high elasticity of bamboo makes it useful as a building material in areas of high risk
    of earthquakes.
    Anisotropic property of bamboo, i.e., possesses cellulose fiber in the longitudinal
    BAMBOO JOINERY TECHNIQUES
    direction making it strong and stiff while lignin in the transverse direction makes it soft
    and brittle. Joining horizontal with vertical elements Use of dowels and anchors
    The fire resistance of bamboo is good, can withstand a temperature of 400°C

    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

    1. Splitting of Bamboo 2. Shaping of Bamboo
    Weight of bamboo: Bamboos due to their low
    weight are easily installed Durability: Bamboo should be sufficiently
