Abstract
There are many various species of bamboo trees in Indonesia, one of which is Petung bamboo (Dendrocalamus Asper). Bamboo is one of the potential material as a substitute for steel reinforcement. This paper will discuss the model of bamboo reinforcement to increase the flexural capacity of concrete beams. The use of the notch is expected to increase the bonding effects and minimize slip effects. This study used laboratory experimental method. Bamboo strips are processed and formed with the notches of the form V with the distance between the notch are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 cm. Static loading is done with third point loading system (ASTM C78). The test results show that, the average flexural capacity on the specimens of concrete beams with Petung bamboo strip notch as reinforcement on the distance between notch 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 cm respectively are 0.536, 0.528, 0.432, 0.403, 0.424, 0.366 tm.
