Abstract

This project research "Partlal replacement of reinforcement steel with bamboo". Induction of ths work states that Bamboo has a high compressive strength than wood, brick and concrete and exhlbits a tensile strength that rivals steel. Bamboo has several properties of engineering material like steel used in construction but unlike wood, bamboo is known to have more evenly distributed yield stress strength; this is due to the absence of ray and knots in its stem. Chapter three, the method used is a regression statistics, chapter four is the results and discussion of the research work, the test results will be useful to the structural engineers for further analysis and design, finally, chapter five is the conclusion and recommendations and based on the findings, it is recommended that: It can prove a good eco friendly, sustainable material for green building. Use of bamboo in construction, various structural members and as a reinforcing material shall be encouraged amongst the engineers for sustainable development and green buildings.
