Abstract
The research work is carried out to determine the load-deflection relationship of bamboo-reinforced concrete slabs subjected to four-point load. Experimental work includes load capacity test, deflection and failure patterns observation of two concrete slabs. Varying percentages of main reinforcement of 20 mm × 10 mm Semantan bamboo were used in the 1100 mm × 500 mm × 100 mm slabs. The slabs were tested to failure under four-point loading. From the testing, it can be said that the maximum load catered by the slab increased with the increase in percentage of bamboo strip reinforcement. As for the crack patterns, it is observed that slab with higher percentage of reinforcement experienced an obvious crack line.
