Structural properties of concrete reinforced with bamboo fibers: a review

Bamboo fibers show promising results in terms of concrete strength and avoid unavoidable brittle failure. However, an updated assessment is needed which collects all the relevant important information and provides an easy for the reader to judge the suitability of bamboo fibers. Therefore, this revi...

description Bamboo fibers show promising results in terms of concrete strength and avoid unavoidable brittle failure. However, an updated assessment is needed which collects all the relevant important information and provides an easy for the reader to judge the suitability of bamboo fibers. Therefore, this review is carried out on bamboo fiber-reinforced concrete to present past and recent research that was already done by another researcher. The fresh properties, structural properties, performance in elevated temperature, durability, and morphology structure are the main parameters of this review. Results indicate that bamboo fibers decreased the concrete flow like other types of fiber such as steel fiber etc. However, an increase in strength parameters was also detected with the addition of bamboo fibers. Furthermore, bamboo fibers increased the tensile strain which avoids undesirable brittle failure. The review also highlights the optimum addition proportion of bamboo fibers which varies from 1 to 1.5% by weight of cement. Finally, the study also recommends potential investigation for upcoming inventions.
