Abstract

Bamboo used as reinforcement in concrete structure is expected to be the best replacement in place of steel reinforcement, since steel is non-renewable and a highly polluting construction material. The bonding and adhesion property is the main concern for the bamboo used as reinforcement in structural purpose. The main aim of this research work was to analyze the adhesion property and bond strength between Concrete and Bamboo strips. To examine the adhesion reinforcement in concrete generally the Bond test (Pull-out test) is conducted in the laboratory. For performing the pull out test the bamboo culms were dried, cut into 19-20 mm wide, 1000 mm long strips. Length of bamboo bar embedded in the concrete cylinder was 150 mm from the top surface of concrete cylinder. There were total 12 concrete cylindrical samples of dimension (150 mm diameter X 300 mm deep) casted in the laboratory and treated with some following special treatment agent to increase the bond strength value between concrete and bamboo.
