Recently, the demonstrable alternative material to conventional material in the construction field becoming very popular due to global warming and other environmental issues. Steel is one of the considerable materials in construction which results in economical and non-renewability. So, it is suggested that an isotropic material called bamboo material as a reinforcement in concrete. As a building material bamboo fiber shows a promising result and caught attention around the world due to its strength, unavoidable brittle failure, advantages in energy conservation, and environmental protection. Bamboo has a fast-growing nature and its tensile strength is 1.5 times greater than steel. Bamboo reinforced concrete construction follows the same mix design, mix proportions, and construction techniques as used for steel. The durability and properties of bamboo can be improved by mechanical and chemical treatments. In this paper, the performance of bamboo-reinforced concrete, and its durability, are discussed.
