Bamboo is a sustainable and durable material that can be used for structural purposes in construction, as it has higher compressive strength than brick and concrete and tensile strength comparable to steel. It grows rapidly, is cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. Bamboo can be used for columns, bracing, reinforcing concrete foundations, and has been used in structural applications around the world, such as the bamboo pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
