2. IS BAMBOO AN
ALTERNATIVE FOR STEEL REINFORCEMENTS IN CONCRETE?

3. BAMBOO AS A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

4. 1. WHY
2. CAN WE CHANGE IT’S SHAPE?
3. WHAT THEY ARE RESISTANT TO ?
4. USES
5. DISADVANTAGES

5. WHY?
-grows faster than other trees
-naturally strong with a higher strength
-relatively simple and requires very little
equipment.
-easy to install
-it can bear heavy loads

6. CAN WE CHANGE IT’S SHAPE?
CURVED BAMBOO ROOF IN BALINESE SCHOOL
(INDONESIA)- GREEN SCHOOL
Traditional techniques of heat and pressure can be used to
create a curved and flat shape in it.

7. WHAT THEY ARE RESISTANT TO?
# scratch resistant - flooring
# fire resistant - a high value of silicate acid and water

8. USES
-Not expensive.
-Reduces carbon foot print.
-adequate sturdiness to the structure and offers a shield against
damage from nature or animals.
-Used earthquake-prone regions due to its elastic features

9. 1.They require preservation
2.Shrinkage: Bamboo shrinks much greater than any other type of
timber especially when it loses water.
3.Durability: Bamboo should be sufficiently treated against
insect or fungus attack before being utilized for building
purposes.
DISADVANTAGE
