    Innovative Use of Bamboo in Construction

    Uploaded by

    Arkitek Hafadz
    This document discusses the innovative use of bamboo in construction. It outlines how bamboo is an advantageous construction material as it is strong, flexible, sustainable, and affordable. However, bamboo faces negative public perceptions in Malaysia of being associated with poverty and rural areas. The document then highlights bamboo's strengths, global uses in places like Hong Kong, and growing applications in Malaysia—including restaurants, houses, and modular construction designs. Bamboo is presented as a renewable resource that can reduce carbon emissions compared to wood and provide cultural identity.

    Characteristics of Bamboo
    BAMBOO

    Strength
    In terms of its structural properties, bamboo is an extremely strong fiber, with twice the compressive strength of concrete and roughly the same
    strength-to-weight ratio of steel in tension, which allows it to handle long spans.

    Tests have also shown that the hollow tube shape gives a strength factor of 1.9 over the equivalent solid section. The reason for this is that, in a
    beam, the only fibers doing the work are in the top (compression) and bottom (tension), while the center is dead weight.

    The strongest bamboo fibers have a greater stress strength than structural woods, and they take much longer to come to ultimate failure
    (DeBoer, 2008).

    Flexible

    Sustainability
    bamboo easily surpasses the most demanding criteria for continuous use. It is a renewable natural resource that can be plentiful, local and
    waste-reducing.

    Alternative material that is cheap and easy to get


    Since bamboo concentrates a large amount of fiber in a small land area, it can create the rare situation in
    which a single person is both producer and consumer of a building material. Thus a bamboo builder need not
    depend upon the whims of the marketplace and can create a long-term source of material.

    Reduce waste

    Reduce GHG
    Yet even more revealing are the statistics for pulling carbon out of the air, potentially reducing the amount of carbon dioxide that contributes to
    the greenhouse effect. According to the Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives (ZERI), a bamboo forest can sequester 17 times as much
    carbon as a typical tree forest (ZERI, 2008).
