ABSTRACT
Due to increase in cost of steel reinforcement for the construction of structure concrete. It becomes impressive to investigate other types of material that are cheaper and durable for the construction of a building. This is the reason why an investigation on the use of bamboo as alternative to steel reinforcement in the construction of beam was carried out. Test on the strength of steel and bamboo was carried out by using 3 top and 3 bottom arrangement of bamboo culms splint of 16mm diameter and that of 16mm steel reinforcement were carried out to check the adequacy of the bamboo reinforced concrete after crushing of both steel reinforcement concrete, it was discovered that the strength of 1:2:4 mix of bamboo reinforced concrete is higher than the strength of 1:3:6 steel reinforced concrete.
