    INTRODUCTION

     Bamboo has a long and well-established tradition as a building


    material through out the world’s tropical and sub-tropical
    regions.
     It is widely used for many forms of construction, in particular
    for housing in rural areas.
     Bamboo is a renewable and versatile resource, characterized by
    high strength and low weight, and is easily worked using
    simple tools.
    GENERAL USES
    a) Soil stabilization, wind break, urban waste water treatment and
    reduction of nitrates contamination
    b) Creating a fire line in traditional forests-due to the high content of
    silica.
    c) Removing atmospheric carbon- bamboo can capture 17 metric tons
    of carbon per hectare per year, i.e., effectively than any other species.
    d) The shoots are edible.
    e) Building and construction.
    f) Small scale and cottage industries, for handicrafts and other products.
    g) New generation products as wood substitutes
    h) Industrial products
    PROPERTIES

     TENSILE STRENGTH
     COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH
     ELASTIC MODULUS
     ANISOTROPIC PROPERTIES
     SHRINKAGE
     FIRE RESISTANCE
    THE WORKING OF BAMBOO

     Splitting: The cane is split in halves and quarters and then


    driven apart by a wedge. It can also be split with a knife frame
    into four or eight segments .
    Shaping

     Bamboo available in nature is usually circular in cross


    section.
    Bending

     Freshly cut, bamboo can be bent by heating and will keep this
    shape after drying.
     When heated above 150° C, bamboo starts changing its shape
    and remains as such after it goes cold.
    PRESERVATION OF BAMBOO

     NON CHEMICAL METHODS OR TRADITIONAL


    METHOD
     CHEMICAL METHODS
    BAMBOO HOUSING

     The majority of bamboo construction relates to the rural


    community needs in developing countries.
     As such domestic housing predominates and in accordance
    with their rural origins, these buildings are often simple in
    design and construction relying on a living tradition of local
    skills and methods.
    ADVANTAGES OF BAMBOO

     The various advantages of bamboo are mentioned


    below.
    1) Light, strong and versatile.
    2) Light, strong, versatile.
    3) Environment friendly.
    4) Accessible to the poor.
    5) Self renewing resource
    6) Fast growing.
    7) Highly productive.
    DISADVANTAGES OF BAMBOO

     The major disadvantages of bamboo are as follows:


    1) Requires preservation
    2) Shaped by nature
    3) Jointing- although many jointing techniques exist,
    their structural efficiency is low.
    4) Lack of design guidance and codes.
    5) Prone to catch fire very fast by the friction among the
    culms during wind, and is seen to cause forest fires.
    CONCLUSION

     Since time immemorial, bamboo has played an important role


    in the development of mankind.
     It is used for a wide range of day-to-day purposes, both as a
    woody material and as food.
     It has been the backbone of much of the world’s rural life and
    will remain so as the population increases.
