    Bamboo is a sustainable building material with high tensile strength. It can replace up to 70% of steel in construction as it is three times cheaper. Bamboo requires proper treatment to prevent insects as its natural durability is less than two years. It is used to construct columns, beams, walls, roofs, and more. While bamboo shrinks more than timber and requires preservation, it has advantages such as being environmentally friendly, elastic, and durable. Common bamboo joinery techniques include one ear joints, two ear joints, beveled joints, and fishmouth joints.

    BAMBOO

    INTRODUCTIO
    N
    BAMBOOS is one of the most
    sustainable building materials
    on the planet and is termed as
    vegetable steel with a tensile
    strength of 2800per square inch
    and also provide earthquake
    resistant structures .
    FACTS
    • Bamboo contains high level of starch which attracts insects ,without
    proper treatment ,bamboo has a natural durability of less than 2 years.
    • Species like genus “dendrocalamus” and “bambusa” have the best
    properties for structural applications.

    • In India over 130 species of bamboos are found .It has a wide range of
    distribution forming an understorey in several forests types except in
    jammu and Kashmir.
    Advantages
     Upto 70% of steel in construction can be
    replaced by bamboo.
     Itcan be used to construct various structural
    elements like columns, beams wall,roof
    staircase and its three times cheaper than steel.
     It promotes green architecture .
    Disadvantages
    • They require preservation.
    • Shrinkage: bamboo shrinks
    much greater than any type of
    timber especially when it looses
    water .
    • Durability: bamboo should be
    sufficiently treated against
    insects ,hence requires care.
    Uses
     Bamboo form the single most important item of the forests produce used by the
    rural communities in asia and the pacific ,from the cradle to the coffin .
     Small scale cottages.
    Uses
     Furniture like sofa ,table and wooden ladders.
     The shoots are edible .
     Creating a fire line in traditional forests due to high content
    of silica.
     Removing atmospheric carbon :bamboos can capture 17
    Metric tons of carbon per hectre per year.
     Soil stabilization ,wind break,urban waste over water treat
    Ment and reduction of nitrate contamination.
    PROPERTIES OF BAMBOO
     Bamboo has higher compressible properties as
    compared to steel ,brick ,wood and concrete ,which is
    28000 pounds.
     They are elastic ,enviournment friendly and
    biodigredable.
     The fiber is bacteriostatic ,antifungal,antibacterial.
     Further they are also resistant to ultraviolet light and
    are highly durable ,stable and tough .
    The Working Of Bamboo in
    Construction
    Splitting
    Bending
    Shaping
    Bamboo Has Nodes, Use
    Them!
    In construction, using bamboo nodes is very
    important. Bamboo columns or beams need to have
    a node at both ends (or as close as possible towards
    the ends), if not the pressure of a structure on the
    joint may crush the bamboo.

    Often it isn't possible to find bamboo of the required


    length with both end nodes in place. When this
    occurs you should insert a wooden cylinder of the
    appropriate diameter or a fitting piece of bamboo
    with a node.
    Splitting
     The cane is spilt in halves and quarters and then driven
    apart by a wedge
    It can also be split with a knife frame into four or eight
    segments.
    Bending & Shaping
     Bamboo has the tendeny to bend and keep
    its shape.
     Although when heated above 150 degree
    celcius ,freshly cut bamboo can be bent and
    will keep this shape after drying.
    Bending bamboo using warm water
     Step 1
     Fill a tube with luke warm water : place your bamboo pole in tub and allow
    them to soak overnight .As with wood ,bamboo requires moisture to bend.The
    moisture softens the lining and hemicellulose in the bamboo cells and allows
    them to flex .
     Step 2
     Test your bamboo: pull the bamboo out of the water and slowly bend the
    bamboo out of the water and slowly bend the bamboo ,attempting it into the
    shape you need.If you hear a cracking sound the bamboo needs to be placed in
    the water again.
     Step 3
     Once your bamboo has been adequately soaked and is pliable ,remove it from
    water and place on a plywood with a design of your choice between the
    nails,then allow it to dry 1-3 days.
    Joinery Of bamboo
     Green fresh cut bamboo shouldn’t be used. Bamboo has to be completely dry
    before using it in construction. During the drying process, the bamboo
    diameter is shrinked so when bamboo is using joinery, this will in loose and
    weak joints after a few weeks
     Only use mature bamboo of 4-6 years.
     Do NOT use bamboo infected by insects, Bamboo has to be properly cured
    with a boron mix immediately after harvesting.
     Use appropriate cuts and joints when building with bamboo.
     Do not use conventional wood needs in bamboo joinery, they will cause the
    bamboo to split. Instead use nylon, steel or vegetable cord of the appropriate
    diameter.
    Joinery of bamboo
    These are the most common cuts to
    use when making bamboo joints.

    one ear / two ear / beveled / flute


    mouth / fish mouth
    Joining horizontal with vertical elements

    . Joint with one or two ears. Is used to


    join bamboo rafters, logs or lumber.
    2. Flap joint. Is used when there is no lashing wire
    available. The flap can be secured with bamboo strips.
    3.Fishmouth joint .is named after the way one bamboo piece
    “bites”into its counterpart .This traditional joinery technique makes use of the bamboo’s
    intrinsic properties by evenly distributing the loads across the full section of bamboo culm.
    Case study:
    • Bamboos here
    preform as a major
    support in building
    construction and are
    cheap compared to
    steel .
