Bamboo Reinforcing Bars for Concrete : Chalet & Bamboo

Bamboo Reinforcing Bars for Concrete:

Bamboo slats are made from bamboo of large diameter splitted into rectangular slats.

From these slats, Chalet & Bamboo offers a ready-to-use bamboo mesh to use for reinforced concrete in place of rebar or wire mesh.

Indeed the use of bamboo as reinforcement in concrete has been widely studied. It is particularly suitable for reinforcing lime concrete. Bamboo is rot proof and iron steel will not resist the lime. Read some experience here

Description:

Bamboo Reinforcing Bars for Concrete (100% natural product & economic)

The use of bamboo as reinforcement in portland cement concrete has been studied extensively. Bamboo has been used as a construction material in certain areas for centuries, but its application as reinforcement in concrete had received little attention until the Clemson study. A study of the feasibility of using bamboo as the reinforcing material in precast concrete elements was conducted by US Navy Civil Engineering Laboratory.

Bamboo was given recent consideration for use as reinforcement in soil-cement pavement slabs in which the slabs behave inelastically even under light loads. For this case ultimate load analysis was shown to be more economical and suitable for use.

In general, techniques used in conventional reinforced concrete construction need not be changed when bamboo is to be used for reinforcement. Bamboo reinforced concrete design is similar to steel reinforcing design.
Design for steel reinforced concrete, the equations and design procedures can be used to design bamboo reinforced concrete considering the section of Bamboo should be 4 times the one of steel.
