A REVIEW PAPER ON FLEXURAL BEHAVIOR OF BAMBOO REINFORCED FERROCEMENT PANELS

By spreading and organizing the reinforcing elements differently from traditional reinforced concrete, ferrocement is a developing technology. It is made up of numerous layers of closely spaced wire mesh immersed in cement mortar. Steel has historically been utilized as reinforcement in concrete constructions, however due to cost and availability issues, it is becoming increasingly important to replace steel with another appropriate material. In the majority of the world's countries, the building sector is the largest user of resources and energy. Because bamboo is an inexpensive, naturally occurring material that is also widely available, wire meshes for reinforcing Ferrocement buildings can be replaced with bamboo. The testing findings of cement beams reinforced with varying numbers of bamboo mesh layers and bamboo reinforcement spacing are presented in this paper. These experimental experiments' primary goal is to determine how utilizing varying numbers of bamboo mesh layers and spacing variations affects the flexural strength of cement beams.
