Replacing of steel with bamboo as reinforcement with addition of sisal fiber

Abstract

In this research work replacement of steel with bamboo with the addition of sisal fiber is completed. A lab-based physical mold was made for this research work. Many sorts of materials were experimented with for replacing steel with bamboo which is a good quality of bamboo, touchwood for waterproofing of bamboo, sisal fiber, and steel for steel reinforcement. Bamboo could also be a flexible material thanks to its easy availability. Due to straight forward availability of bamboo, it was used as reinforcement. And by the addition of sisal fiber, it is found that it gives more strength to the development, during this study we checked while changes were made in samples or not by the addition of sisal fiber. In today's era, the environment is promoted, and by using sustainable things bamboo is used as a sustainable and economic material, and then it can be used and more in construction sites. This study is also important because it is clear that in the future there will be more important to such a material which is easily available and economic too. This study is about the use of bamboo more and more on construction sites in present and the future. To know that bamboo reinforcement May or may not be used in place of steel, I made some samples of bamboo reinforcement concrete beams and tested them to know whether they can be used or not. There have been many discussions on this topic done in the past and people have discussed it in a very beautiful way. But what makes this study different is that no one has used sisal fiber with bamboo reinforcement before today. And I took advantage of this, learning from others' discussions, mixing sisal fiber with bamboo reinforcement, preparing samples, and doing tests on them.
