India has one third of the world’s poor 87.2% of the population of Indians live below the poverty line. Since the population is on the rise the demand for basic needs increases. We civil engineers deal with providing shelter for humans. Our main aim is to provide best facilities at an economic cost. Concrete has various advantages such as low cost, availability, fire resistance etc. But it cannot be used alone because of its low tensile strength; usually it is reinforced with materials that are strong in tension since some of the citizens cannot afford to utilize steel in reinforcement due to its cost, we go in for a material which can be replaced for steel. Bamboo is a giant woody grass, that grows chiefly in the tropics, where it is widely cultivated. Bamboo proves to provide good reinforcement and is eco- friendly. Moreover it is very economic. In this paper, a review of the research carried out on bamboo reinforced concrete is given with emphasis on experimental work. To study the effect of replacement of steel reinforcement by bamboo reinforcement, designs have been conducted on beam of size of 750 mm length and 150 x 150 sq-mm.

Bamboo, Flexural Strength, Economical.
