Bamboo Reinforced Low Cost House - A Case StudyBy Tarun Kumar Lohani
Abstract: The objective is to set up a low cost house using bamboo and its culms as reinforcement material. A prototype of such a construction has been undertaken in an area of 255 sq.ft. As bamboo acts as a structural member, it can replace steel as reinforcement. The proposed structure consists of four supporting column and one main column at its centre to achieve a better economy due to reduction in …
