An Approach for Utilization of Bamboo Reinforcement Technology in the Construction of Compound Wall Panel
摘要
In earlier eras’ bricks were considered to be the top choice for com- pound walls to easily work with them. Traditional compound walls are prepared from clay and their durability depends upon the superiority of plaster used while preparation. In relations of material, these walls are very expensive. Traditional compound wall construction implicates extensive installation and a hard labour process. To defeat this problem precast compound walls are gaining much attention for a better design. These Precast compound walls are cost-effective and provide long-lasting life. So there is a requirement to have an alternative and environmentally friendly material in construction that won’t harm the environment, similar to steel, which can add to sustainable development. Bamboo is natural, renewable, and its tensile strength to specific weight ratio is high. Also, it possesses both tensile and compressive strength. This research work recommends the use of bamboo as an alternative to steel reinforcement in the manufacturing process of Precast Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) compound walls. This Recently developed product will be eco friendly and sustainable as instead of steel Bamboo will be used as reinforcement. At the same time, it will have all the advantages of precast compound walls. This product will be cost-effective, reusable, lightweight, and durable, save the time of installation and it will have similar strength as that Precast RCC compound wall.
