Abstract
Bamboo is known as one of the quick growing plant due to its unique rhizome-dependent system. Its fiber owns the lowest density in comparison with the other natural fibers. The bamboo fibers can be used as innovative fibers in concrete. It can increase the strength of the concrete and improve the ductility of concrete. This study investigates the influence of different percentages of bamboo fiber in concrete through the compressive strength results. There are three different percentages of bamboo fibers to be incorporated in the concrete. A demonstration of utilising the bamboo as the steel reinforcement replacement is also presented in this study. From this study, an optimum percentage of 0.5% of incorporation of bamboo fiber as an addition in the concrete mix provides the highest compressive strength. From the three point load test, the concrete beam specimen cast with the addition of bamboo fibers yielded the prominent outcome. The findings of this study proved that the bamboos have a good potential for its application in the concrete application.
