EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF BAMBOO AS A PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF REBAR IN RC BEAMS
This study presented about flexural capacity of beams partially reinforced with bamboo as tension reinforcement and as a top reinforcement in compression zone. The bamboo sticks used as reinforcement on the beams were from Dilla Zone and tested against compression and tension; its strength found to be 46 & 120 Mpa respectively. Compared the experimental result with reinforced concrete beams and theoretically calculated values. Five beam samples were used for this purpose; singly reinforced and doubly reinforced beam. On singly reinforced beam, bamboo culms were used as a nominal reinforcement in compression zone and steel in tension zone. On doubly reinforced beam, 35% of tension reinforcement was replaced by 85% of bamboo to saw the effect of the replacement on load carrying capacity. As a result, for singly reinforced beam adding bamboo increased the load carrying capacity by 8% and for doubly reinforced beam, there was about 10% reduction on the flexural capacity compared with doubly reinforced RC beam but still safe for the design load
