Experimental evaluation of bamboo reinforced concrete beams

However, BRC beams with 2.8% bamboo reinforcement shown less shear and flexural capacity compared to that of RCC beams. The effect of additional 1% bamboo reinforcement on shear as well as flexural strength can be clearly observed in second type of BRC beam. Failure mode observed in both type of BRC beams were different from that of PCC and RCC beams.
