Abstract

Abstract As well known, concrete and steel are widely used in construction industry due to its strength and durability. The usage of these materials is threatening the environment as steel and concrete are non-renewable sources and the productions were consuming largest energy in construction industry. In order to overcome this problem some studies were conducted by different researchers in replacing steel with bamboo in structural components such as beam, column, slab and others. Therefore, in this study, the usage of bamboo as the replacement for steel reinforcement in concrete covering slab is tested. The flexural strength of bamboo reinforced concrete covering slab for 100 mm x 50 mm and 100 mm x 100 mm meshing were tested under four-point load. The result of comparison of flexural strength between steel reinforcement and bamboo meshing shows that the steel reinforcements have more flexural strength than bamboo meshing with percentage difference of 40.95% for 100 mm by 100 mm meshing opening and 62.37% for the 100 mm x 50 mm meshing opening size. From the experiment, it shows that slab cover with steel reinforcement has higher bending strength that the bamboo reinforced. The brittle behaviour of bamboo cannot compete with steel with higher elasticity.
