Bamboo fibre ,Compressive, Flexural Strength split tensile strength

For construction, one of the most important materials is concrete. Concrete is preferred because of its Low cost, High strength, Thermal & fire resistance, Availability, Durability, Diversity etc. Concrete cannot be used at places where tensile forces are predominant alone because concrete is known to have low tensile strength. Bamboo is rich in fibre, natural, cheap, easily available and importantly strong enough both in tension and compression. To check the compressive and flexure strength, concrete cubes reinforced with bamboo fibre have been tested by changing the percentage of fibre. Usually M20 concrete is used for most of the constructional works, hence in this project M20 concrete is taken. In this report, effects of material proportion of volume of bamboo fibres on Bamboo Fibre Reinforced Concrete have been examined. Test beams for flexural strength, cubes and cylinders for compressive and splitting strength are cast using ordinary Portland cement and three types of fibre content 0, 1 and 2%.Tests were conducted on coarse aggregates, fine aggregates and cement. Studys were made on bamboo fibre to determine their physical properties. Cubes, cylinders and beams were casted and tested for 7, 14 and 28 day’s strength. These tests revealed that the optimum bamboo fibre content was found to be 1% by weight of cement, fine and coarse aggregates.
