The use of bamboo as reinforcement in portland cement concrete has been studied extensively by many scientists and researchers over years.

Bamboo has been used as a construction material in certain areas for centuries, but its application as reinforcement in concrete had received little attention until the Clemson study.

A study of the feasibility of using bamboo as the reinforcing material in precast concrete elements was conducted at the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station way back in 1964.

Ultimate strength design procedures, modified to take into account the characteristics of the bamboo reinforcement were used to estimate the ultimate load carrying capacity of the precast concrete elements with bamboo reinforcing.

Bamboo was given recent consideration for use as reinforcement in soil-cement pavement slabs in which the slabs behave inelastically even under light loads. Ultimate load analysis was shown to be more economical and suitable for use.

A recent experiment suggests that bridges built from bamboo instead of steel could provide a cheaper, more environmentally sustainable engineering solution. China has been following this for a long time.

Bamboo beams could work for bridges up to 30-metres long. Bamboo roads are suitable for carrying pedestrians, Cars, and Trucks as well.

2.  Bamboo Food and cooking:

Bamboo food for animals –

Bamboo Food for Pandas - Bamboooz
Panda –

A panda’s daily diet consists almost entirely of the leaves, stems, and shoots of various bamboo species.

Bamboo contains very little nutritional value so pandas must eat 12-38kg every day to meet their energy needs.

 

But they do branch out, with about 1% of their diet comprising other plants and even meat. While they are almost entirely vegetarian, pandas will sometimes hunt for pikas and other small rodents.

 

Indeed, as members of the bear family, giant pandas possess the digestive system of a carnivore, although they have evolved to depend almost entirely on bamboo.

 

This reliance on bamboo leaves them vulnerable to any loss of their habitat – currently the major threat to their survival.
