    BAMBOO
    Bamboo is a grass found easily on
    AVAILABILITY almost all continents with special
    ability to grow on wasteland as well.
    The resources of bamboo are wide
    and available globally with China
    and India contributing to the
    maximum world bamboo forest.

    India is the second-biggest


    producer of bamboo worldwide.

    Bamboo is perceived as a
    sustainable, quickly developing,
    and crude economic material
    BAMBOO AS A
    SUSTAINABLE
    MATERIAL
    Its tensile strength is almost equal to steel

    It is a sustainable material that requires very


    less energy to nurture, restrains soil erosion,
    supplies biofuel, extends wildlife refuge

    The primary harvesting often takes 3 to


    5 years, considerably quicker than wood
    forests.

    Bamboo is flexible and elastic. It bends rather


    than breaks.

    Bamboo can be paired with other materials


    such as mud, vegetable materials

    Bаmbоо іѕ 100% biodegradable.


    Trusses /Roof Structure: Bamboo trusses
    can be easily used for constructing roof
    trusses using bamboo rafters and purlins.

    Structures made of it are subjected to less


    force during earthquakes and are less
    likely to collapse
    USES
    Bamboo as a composite material can be
    used for various interior and exterior
    purposes in buildings like foundation,
    flyovers, dwellings, multistory buildings,
    large span structures, and interiors of
    airports, recreational buildings
