CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The project is a G+2 storey mall cum office building comprising of a terrace
on each floor to enhance the aesthetic view of the structure. The main idea behind
this project is to learn the GREEN CONCEPT of design and architecture which
is the most upcoming field in developing countries like INDIA.
The exceptional plan of the structure and the unique elevation enhances the
aesthetic view of the building an even proves to be distinct amongst the adjacent
structures by displaying exceptional elegance and comfort.
The lifts situated are provided to serve the desired purpose of vertical circulation
inside the building premises. The planning of a complex is done very carefully by
keeping the eco-friendly concept in mind. It is planned in such a way that
maximum benefit from environment is gained for e.g. The position of door
4
2010
and window is planned in such a direction were the wind velocity is more so that
good ventilation is used and we can save the electricity.
According to the green concept, there should be “Maximum use of natural light
during day time” by providing sufficient windows & ventilators.
SITE SELECTION
The site has been selected by considering the following factors:
 The primary need for the commercial complex is to serve the recent growth
of residents in that locality.
 Also there is an airport proposed to be constructed at a 2 kilometer distance
from the site.
 Because of the airport the mall will prove to be very useful as a recreation
centre to passengers.
 Since there are various industries nearby the aesthetic view of the mall will
surely add to the beauty of the site.

IN THE BLDG

CHAPTER 3
GREEN CONCEPT AND IMPLEMENTATION IN THE BLDG
Green Building, also known as green construction or sustainable building, is

the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally
responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle
To begin with the green concept the first and foremost thing to know is that the
design and the architecture should be such that maximum of the gift of nature is
utilized and minimum energy consumption and maintenance is required which is
the basic requirement of a particular structure to be economical.
“For every one million sq.ft of constructed green building footprint, the CO 2
reductions around 12,000 tonnes per annum”
NECESSICITY FOR THE GREEN CONCEPT:-
Buildings account for:

• 72% of electricity consumption,
• 39% of energy use,
• 38% of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions,
• 40% of raw materials use,
• 30% of waste output (136 million tons annually), and
• 14% of potable water consumption.
12
2010
Hence, because of the above consequences the green building concept has to be
used for our future generations to breathe in fresh air and be out of the danger of
environmental impacts.
Benefits of Green Building
Environmental benefits:
 Enhance and protect ecosystems and biodiversity

 Improve air and water quality
 Reduce solid waste
 Conserve natural resources
Economic benefits:
 Reduce operating costs

 Enhance asset value and profits
 Improve employee productivity and
satisfaction
 Optimize life-cycle economic
performance
Health and community benefits:
 Improve air, thermal, and acoustic

environments
 Enhance occupant comfort and health
 Minimize strain on local infrastructure
 Contribute to overall quality of life
GOALS OF A GREEN BUILDING
Siting and structure design efficiency:-
The foundation of any construction project is rooted in the concept and

design stages. The concept stage, in fact, is one of the major steps in a project life
cycle, as it has the largest impact on cost and performance. In designing
environmentally optimal buildings, the objective function aims at minimizing the
total environmental impact associated with all life-cycle stages of the building
13
2010
project. However, building as a process is not as streamlined as an industrial

process, and varies from one building to the other, never repeating itself
identically. In addition, buildings are much more complex products, composed of a
various materials and components each constituting various designs variables to be
decided at the design stage. A variation of every design variable may affect the
environment during all the building's relevant life-cycle stages.
Energy efficiency
Green buildings often include measures to reduce energy use. To increase the
efficiency of the building envelope, (the barrier between conditioned and
unconditioned space), they may use high-efficiency windows and insulation in
walls, ceilings, and floors. Another strategy, passive solar building design, is often
implemented in low-energy homes. Designers orient windows and walls and place
awnings, porches, and trees to shade windows and roofs during the summer while
maximizing solar gain in the winter. In addition, effective window placement (day
lighting) can provide more natural light and lessen the need for electric lighting
during the day. Solar water heating further reduces energy loads.
Onsite generation of renewable energy through solar power, wind power, hydro
power, or biomass can significantly reduce the environmental impact of the
building. Power generation is generally the most expensive feature to add to a
building.
Water efficiency
Reducing water consumption and protecting water quality are key objectives
in sustainable building. One critical issue of water consumption is that in many
areas of the country, the demands on the supplying aquifer exceed its ability to
replenish itself. To the maximum extent feasible, facilities should increase their
dependence on water that is collected, used, purified, and reused on-site. The
protection and conservation of water throughout the life of a building may be
accomplished by designing for dual plumbing that recycles water in toilet flushing.
Waste-water may be minimized by utilizing water conserving fixtures such as
ultra-low flush toilets and low-flow shower heads. Bidets help eliminate the use of
14
2010
toilet paper, reducing sewer traffic and increasing possibilities of re-using water
on-site. Point of use water treatment and heating improves both water quality and
energy efficiency while reducing the amount of water in circulation. The use of
non-sewage and grey water for on-site use such as site-irrigation will minimize
demands on the local aquifer.
Materials efficiency
Building materials typically considered to be 'green' include rapidly

renewable plant materials like bamboo (because bamboo grows quickly) and straw,
lumber from forests certified to be sustainably managed, ecology blocks,
dimension stone, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other products that are non-
toxic, reusable, renewable, and/or recyclable (e.g. Trass, Linoleum, sheep wool,
panels made from paper flakes, compressed earth block, adobe, baked earth,
rammed earth, clay, vermiculite, flax linen, sisal, sea grass, cork, expanded clay
grains, coconut, wood fiber plates, calcium sand stone, concrete (high and ultra
high performance, roman self-healing concrete) The EPA (Environmental
Protection Agency) also suggests using recycled industrial goods, such as coal
combustion products, foundry sand, and demolition debris in construction projects
Polyurethane heavily reduces carbon emissions as well. Polyurethane blocks are
being used instead of CMTs by companies like American Insulock. Polyurethane
blocks provide more speed, less cost, and they are environmentally friendly.
Building materials should be extracted and manufactured locally to the building
site to minimize the energy embedded in their transportation. Where possible,
building elements should be manufactured off-site and delivered to site, to
maximize benefits of off-site manufacture including minimizing waste,
maximizing recycling (because manufacture is in one location), high quality
elements, less noise and dust.
Indoor environmental quality enhancement:-
Indoor Air Quality seeks to reduce volatile organic compounds, or VOC's,

and other air impurities such as microbial contaminants. Buildings rely on a
properly designed HVAC system to provide adequate ventilation and air filtration
as well as isolate operations (kitchens, dry cleaners, etc.) from other occupancies.
15
2010
During the design and construction process choosing construction materials and
interior finish products with zero or low emissions will improve IAQ. Many
building materials and cleaning/maintenance products emit toxic gases, such as
VOC's and formaldehyde. These gases can have a detrimental impact on occupants'
health and productivity as well. Avoiding these products will increase a building's
IEQ.
Personal temperature and airflow control over the HVAC system coupled with a
properly designed building envelope will also aid in increasing a building's thermal
quality. Creating a high performance luminous environment through the careful
integration of natural and artificial light sources will improve on the lighting
quality of a structure.
Operations and maintenance optimization:
No matter how sustainable a building may have been in its design and
construction, it can only remain so if it is operated responsibly and maintained
properly. Ensuring operations and maintenance (O&M) personnel are part of the
project's planning and development process will help retain the green criteria
designed at the onset of the project. Every aspect of green building is integrated
into the O&M phase of a building's life. The addition of new green technologies
also falls on the O&M staff. Although the goal of waste reduction may be applied
during the design, construction and demolition phases of a building's life-cycle, it
is in the O&M phase that green practices such as recycling and air quality
enhancement take place.
Waste reduction:
Green architecture also seeks to reduce waste of energy, water and materials
used during construction. For example, in California nearly 60% of the state's
waste comes from commercial buildings during the construction phase, one goal
should be to reduce the amount of material going to landfills. Well-designed
buildings also help reduce the amount of waste generated by the occupants as well,
by providing on-site solutions such as compost bins to reduce matter going to
landfills.
16
2010
To reduce the impact on wells or water treatment plants, several options exist.
"Greywater", wastewater from sources such as dishwashing or washing machines,
can be used for subsurface irrigation, or if treated, for non-potable purposes, e.g.,
to flush toilets and wash cars. Rainwater collectors are used for similar purposes.
Centralized wastewater treatment systems can be costly and use a lot of energy. An
alternative to this process is converting waste and wastewater into fertilizer, which
avoids these costs and shows other benefits. By collecting human waste at the
source and running it to a semi-centralized biogas plant with other biological
waste, liquid fertilizer can be produced. This concept was demonstrated by a
settlement in Lubeck Germany in the late 1990s. Practices like these provide soil
with organic nutrients and create carbon sinks that remove carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere, offsetting greenhouse gas emission. Producing artificial fertilizer is
also more costly in energy than this process
Cost:
The most criticized issue about constructing environmentally friendly

buildings is the price. Photo-voltaic, new appliances and modern technologies tend
to cost more money. Most green buildings cost a premium of <2%, but yield 10
times as much over the entire life of the building. The stigma is between the
knowledge of up-front cost vs. life-cycle cost. The savings in money come from
more efficient use of utilities which result in decreased energy bills. Also, higher
worker or student productivity can be factored into savings and cost deductions.
Studies have shown over a 20 year life period, some green buildings have yielded
$53 to $71 per square foot back on investment It is projected that different sectors
could save $130 Billion on energy bills

SPANNING OF SLABS
This is decided by the positions of the supporting beams or walls. When the
supports are only on opposite sides or only in one direction the slab acts as a one
way supported slab. When this slab is supported in two perpendicular directions it
acts as a two way supported slab. However the two way slab does not only depend
on the manner in which is supported but also on the aspect ratio of the long span
Ly/Lx, the ratio of the reinforcement in the two directions and the boundary
conditions. Therefore the designer is free to decide as to whether the slab he is to
be designed as a one way or as the two ways.
This decision may be taken considering following points:
1. A slab acts as a two way slab when the aspect raito Ly/Lx <2. A slab
with Ly/Lx >2 is designed as a one way slab.
2. A two way slab is generally economical compared to one way slab
because the steel along both the spans acts as main steel transfers the load
to all the four supports. While in one way main steel reinforcement is
provided along the shorts span and the load is transferred to two opposite
supports only the steel along the long span just acts as distribution steel
and he is not designed transferring for the loads.

CHAPTER 6
RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
“Rain water harvesting means the optimum use of

rain water or the activity of direct collection of rain water which
can be recharged into the ground-water to prevent fall of
ground-water level or storing in surface or underground water
tank..”
BENEFITS OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING
1. Rain water harvesting replenishes the ground water table and enables the
dug wells and bore wells to yield in a sustained manner.
2. If ground water is brackish, harvesting will reduce the salinity of water.
3. Due to presence of iron salts, water becomes yellow and rain water
harvesting leach out these salts; leaching to clean the water availability in
the long run.
4. Flooding of low lying areas and roads can be avoided to a large extent, since
rain water that is not harvested both within house as well as outside is
responsible for flooding.
30
2010
5. Rain water can be used for conservation and harvesting for irrigation
purpose.
6. It promotes conjunctive use of river, rain ground, and sea and sewage water.
7. It prevents unsustainable exploitation of the aquifer.
8. It ensures efficiency, economy and equity in the water use through co-
operative management of water sheds and command area.
9. It regulates the expansion of water market.
UTILITY OF RAIN WATER:
The advantages of utilizing rain water to supply house-hold needs and Quality can
easily be maintained; the system is simple to construct; there is no negative
environmental impacts; it helps reduce problems such as soil erosion and flood
hazards; and reduce reliance on ground water allows replenishment of ground
water tables.
DIFFERENT METHODS OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING:
1. Roof Top Water Harvesting.

2. Surface Water Harvesting.
Our project aims at the first type:
“Roof Top RainWater Harvesting”
ROOF TOP WATER HARVESTING
Roof top water harvesting can be constructed where ever there are permanent
settlements experiencing difficult water supply conditions usually they require roof
areas of more than 30 sq. m. , but even in smaller areas can provide partial supply
to relieve some of the burden of fetching water. Roof top harvesting is comprised
of the roof top as the catchment areas, connected by gutters and pipes to a storage
container. The most suitable roof top surfaces are corrugated iron sheet.
31
2010
DESIGN OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING SYSTEM
Fig. 4 (a)
The Potential
The total amount of water that is received in the form of rainfall over an area is
called the rainwater endowment of that area. Out of this, the amount that can be
effectively harvested is called the water harvesting potential. Refer Fig. 4 (a)
INFLUENCING FACTORS
Among the several factors that influence the rainwater harvesting potential
of a site, eco-climatic conditions and the catchment characteristics are considered
to be the most important.
RAINFALL
Quantity
Rainfall is the most unpredictable variable in the calculation and hence, to

determine the potential rainwater supply for a given catchment, reliable rainfall
data are required, preferably for a period of at least10 years. Also, it would be far
better to use rainfall data from the nearest station with comparable conditions.
32
2010
Pattern
The number of annual rainy days also influences the need and design for
rainwater harvesting. The fewer the annual rainy days or longer the dry period, the
more the need for rainwater collection in a region. However, if the dry period is too
long, big storage tanks would be needed to store rainwater. Hence in such regions,
it is more feasible to use rainwater to recharge groundwater aquifers rather than for
storage.
Catchment area characteristics:
Runoff depends upon the area and type of the catchment over which it falls
as well as surface features.
All calculations relating to the performance of rainwater catchment systems

involve the use of runoff coefficient to account for losses due to spillage, leakage,
infiltration, catchment surface wetting and evaporation, which will all contribute to
reducing the amount of runoff. (Runoff coefficient for any catchment is the ratio of
the volume of water that runs off a surface to the volume of rainfall that falls on the
surface).
Runoff coefficients for various catchment surfaces
Type of catchment Coefficient of runoff

Roof catchments - tiles 0.8 – 0.9
Roof catchments - Corrugated metal 0.7 – 0.9
sheets
Concrete paved ground catchment 0.6 – 0.8
Brick paved ground catchment 0.5 - 0.6
Unpaved ground catchments
a) Soil on slopes less than 10 per 0.1 – 0.3
cent
33
2010
b) Rocky natural catchments 0.2 – 0.5

Based on the above factors the water harvesting potential of a site could be
estimated using the formula given below.
Water harvesting potential
= Rainfall (mm) x Area of catchment x Runoff coefficient
Design of storage tanks

The volume of the storage tank can be determined by the following factors:
 Number of persons in the household: The greater the number of persons, the
greater the storage capacity required to achieve the same efficiency of fewer
people under the same roof area.
 Per capita water requirement: This varies from household to household
based on habits and also from season to season. Consumption rate has an
impact on the storage systems design as well as the duration to which stored
rainwater can last.
 Average annual rainfall
 Period of water scarcity: Apart from the total rainfall, the pattern of rainfall -
whether evenly distributed through the year or concentrated in certain
periods will determine the storage requirement. The more distributed the
pattern, the lesser the size.
 Type and size of the catchment: Type of roofing material determines the
selection of the runoff coefficient for designs. Size could be assessed by
measuring the area covered by the catchment i.e., the length and horizontal
width. Larger the catchment, larger the size of the required cistern (tank).
34
2010
Dry season demand versus supply approach

In this approach there are three options for determining the volume of storage:
1. Matching the capacity of the tank to the area of the roof

2. Matching the capacity of the tank to the quantity of water required by its
users
3. Choosing a tank size that is appropriate in terms of costs, resources and
construction methods.
In practice the costs, resources and the construction methods tend to limit
the tanks to smaller capacities than would otherwise be justified by roof areas or
likely needs of consumers. For this reason elaborate calculations aimed at
matching tank capacity to roof area is usually unnecessary. However a simplified
calculation based on the following factors can give a rough idea of the potential for
rainwater collection.
Illustration
Suppose the system has to be designed for meeting drinking water

requirement of a five-member family living in a building with a rooftop area of
100 sq. m. The average annual rainfall in the region is 600 mm (average annual
rainfall in Mumbai is 611 mm). Daily drinking water requirement per person
(drinking and cooking) is 10 litres.
Design procedure:
Following details are available:
Area of the catchment (A) = 965 sq. m
Average annual rainfall (R) = 800 mm (0.8 m)
Runoff coefficient (C) = 0.85 00
35
2010
STEPS:
1) Calculate the maximum amount of rainfall that can be harvested from the
rooftop:
Annual water harvesting potential = 965 x 0.8 x 0.85
= 656.2 cu. m. (650,000 litres)
2) Determine the tank capacity:
As a safety factor, the tank should be built 20 per cent larger than required, i.e.,
780,000 litres. This tank can meet the basic drinking water requirement of a
commercial building for the dry period. A typical size of a rectangular tank
constructed in the basement will be about 15 m x 15 m x 3.5 m.
36
2010
Salient features of this approach:
1. Simplest approach to system design but is relevant only in areas where

distinct dry seasons exist
2. Provides a rough estimate of storage volume requirements
3. This method does not take into account variations between different years,
such as the occurrence of drought years. It also entirely ignores rainfall input
and the capacity of the catchment to deliver the runoff necessary to fill the
storage tank.
4. This technique can be used in the absence of any rainfall data and is easily
understandable to the layperson. These points are especially relevant when
designing systems in the remote areas of developing countries where
obtaining reliable rainfall data can be difficult.

SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM

CHAPTER 7
SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM
Types of Solar Panels
There are two main types of solar panel
1. Solar electric panels

2. Solar water heating panels
How PV Panels Work
PV panels collect energy from the sun and convert it into electricity PV
systems convert sunlight directly into electricity. “Photo” refers to light and
“voltaic” to electricity. A PV cell is made of a semiconductor material, usually
crystalline silicon, which absorbs sunlight. You’ve seen PV cells at work in simple
mechanisms like watches and calculators. You’ve probably even seen them for
signs on the road. More complex PV systems produce solar electricity for houses
and the utility grid. The utility grid is the power source available to your local
electricity provider.
39
2010
PV cells are typically combined into modules, or panels, containing about 40 cells.
Roughly ten modules constitute a PV array, or grouping of panels.
Details on How PV Panels Work
Most PV panels contain a top protective layer, two specially treated layers of
silicon with collecting circuitry attached to the top layer, and a polymer backing
layer.
The top layer of silicon is treated to make it electrically negative; the back layer is
treated it make it electrically positive. When sunlight knocks electrons loose from
the silicon, electrons move up from the bottom layer of silicon and crowd the
electrons in the top layer. The electrons
freed from the top layer are collected by
electrical contacts on the surface of the top
layer and routed through an external
circuit, thus providing power to the
electrical system attached to the panels.
New technology, which we’ll get to in a

later section, uses different, less expensive
materials than silicon in PV panels to
capture sunlight more affordably.
Where is PV Panels Installed?
Most PV panels go on solar south-facing roofs parallel to the roof’s slope in

the northern hemisphere, and on solar north-facing roofs in the southern
hemisphere. Some arrays can be mounted on poles or on the ground, but such
placement could be prohibited by local regulations or homeowners’ association
rules. An important consideration is how many peak sun hours your system will
get. Will your solar panels get year-round unshaded sun exposure from 9 a.m. - 3
p.m. (the ideal)? Is your climate stormy, foggy, and dusty? The power of your
system will vary depending on your geographical location. People in the
northeastern US, for example, will need more solar panels on their roofs to provide
the same amount of solar electricity as someone in Arizona.
40
2010
What Happens at Night and on Cloudy Days?
Because solar electric systems only produce power when the sun is shining,
many consumers also connect their solar system to a utility power grid that
provides additional electricity when the solar panels are not producing enough.
That type of solar system is called a grid-tied system.
Off-Grid vs. Grid-Tied Systems
Costs also vary depending on whether your solar energy system is grid-tied
or off-grid. The cost of installing a typical off-grid PV system in a home ranges
from $15,000-$20,000 per kilowatt hour. The cost lowers when the solar system is
installed as part of the initial house construction, because it is easier and more cost-
efficient to incorporate energy-saving design, PV panels and other equipment
during construction than to add them after the house is already built.
Off-grid systems require batteries to store electricity and a charge regulator to

make sure the batteries are not under- or overcharged. However, with the cost of
extending power lines from the utility grid averaging from $20,00-$80,000 per
mile, a PV system can be a wise investment for electricity in remote areas.
There are several varieties of off-grid systems:
Small stand-alone solar electricity systems are often used for RV power, lighting,
cabins, back-up and portable power systems.
A complete stand-alone solar system provides independence from both fossil fuels
and electric utility companies.
A typical complete stand-alone system uses two inverters to make sure power is
available for large loads such as air conditioners, and one inverter can supply
power when the other may not be working or needs servicing.
Such systems require sizable battery storage capacity so electricity is available

when adverse weather diminishes solar power.
Batteries are an expensive component of stand-alone solar systems, initially

costing between $80-$200 per kWh for residential use.
41
2010
Hybrid systems combine PV panels with additional power sources such as fossil-
fuel generators.
A hybrid system uses fewer solar panels than a typical stand-alone system, because
a gasoline, propane or diesel generator produces power when solar panels are not
producing enough.
Such systems can be used for cabins, remote homes and to power small medical
facilities in third-world countries.
Off Grid advantages:
1. Freedom from electric bills

2. Independence of the public utility grid
3. Cost-effective for remote areas without power lines
Off Grid disadvantages:
1. Higher initial investment than grid-tied systems

2. Expense and maintenance of more system components such as batteries and
charge regulators
3. Possibility of power outage in extended periods of adverse sun conditions
Grid Tied advantages:
1. Backup power if the solar system isn’t producing enough

2. Net metering if the solar system is producing too much power
3. Lower initial investment than for most off-grid systems
Grid Tied disadvantages:
1. Some dependence on the utility grid

2. May not be able to use solar system in the event of a grid power failure
3. Some incentives require that contractors demonstrate proper licensing and
capability in areas specific to grid-tied installation
42
2010
What Happens if a Solar System Produces More Energy Than the Home
Needs?
In a grid-tied system, homeowners can get credit when their system

produces more solar electricity than the house itself needs. Many utility companies
use “net metering” or “net billing” for customers with solar energy systems. The
utility credits a homeowner’s account for excess solar electricity, which goes back
to the utility grid, then applies the credit to other months when the system produces
less electricity.

CHAPTER 8
THE GREEN BUILDING RATING SYSTEM
In the rating system the particular structure is given points depending upon how
strictly the clauses laid down by the a)LEED B)IGBC C)USGBC etc … are
followed and how eco-friendly the structure is or will be.
NEED FOR THE RATING SYSTEM
 To demonstrate that building is truly ‘green’

 To give building owners the tools to have a measurable impact on their
buildings’ performance.
THE LEED RATING SYSTEM
The LEED System is a point based system. The building projects earn points
based on their satisfying Green building criteria. They must satisfy certain
requirements and earn credit points based on six different categories. The six
categories
 Sustainable sites
 Water efficiency
 Energy and atmosphere
 Materials and resources
 Indoor environmental quality
47
2010
 Innovation and design process
Depending on the number of points the building project earns, it is awarded a

certification level. There are four LEED certification levels – Certified, Silver Gold
and Platinum.
The LEED system is used by designers, architects, engineers, construction

managers, government officials among others to make sustainable buildings. Many
U.S state and federal agencies are adopting LEED certification. The LEED
certification has gained worldwide acceptance as a benchmark for sustainable
buildings with LEED certified projects in 41 different countries including Canada,
Mexico, Brazil and India.
IGBC (INDIAN GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL)
The guidelines detailed under each credit enable the design and construction of
green homes of all sizes and types. IGBC Green Homes addresses green features
under the following categories:
 Site Selection and Planning
 Water Efficiency
 Energy Efficiency
 Materials
 Indoor Environmental Quality
 Innovation & Design Process
Different levels of green building certification are awarded based on the total
credits earned. However, every Green Home should meet certain mandatory
requirements, which are non-negotiable.
The various levels of rating awarded are:

 ‘Certified’ to recognize best practices
 ‘Silver’ to recognize outstanding performance
 ‘Gold’ to recognize national excellence
 ‘Platinum’ to recognize global leadership

CHAPTER 9
BAMBOO RESTAURANT
INTRODUCTION
Bamboo is a naturally occurring composite material which grows abundantly

in most of the tropical countries. It is considered a composite material because it
consists of cellulose fibers imbedded in a lignin matrix. Cellulose fibers are aligned
along the length of the bamboo providing maximum tensile flexural strength and
rigidity in that direction. Over 1200 bamboo species have been identified globally.
Bamboo has a very long history with human kind. Bamboo chips were used to
record history in ancient China. Bamboo is also one of the oldest building
materials used by human kind. It has been used widely for household products and
extended to industrial applications due to advances in processing technology and
increased market demand. In Asian countries, bamboo has been used for household
utilities such as containers, chopsticks, woven mats, fishing poles, cricket boxes,
handicrafts, chairs, etc. It has also been widely used in building applications, such
As flooring, ceiling, walls, windows, doors, fences, housing roofs, trusses, rafters
and purlins; it is also used in construction as structural materials for bridges, water
transportation facilities and skyscraper scaffoldings.
There are several differences between bamboo and wood. In bamboo, there are
No rays or knots, which give bamboo a far more evenly distributed stresses
throughout its length.
51
2010
DETAIL SPECIFICATION OF BAMBOO
Bamboo is a hollow tube, sometimes with thin walls, and consequently it is

more difficult to join bamboo than pieces of wood. Bamboo does not contain the
same chemical extractives as wood, and can therefore be glued very well.
Bamboo’s diameter, thickness, and internodal length have a macroscopically
graded structure while the fiber distribution exhibits a microscopically graded
architecture, which lead to favorable properties of bamboo.

STRENGHT OF BAMBOO AS CONSTRUCTION MATERAIL
Bamboo has tensile strength superior to mild steel (withstands up to 52,000

Pounds of pressure psi) and a weight-to-strength ratio surpassing that of graphite,
bamboo is the strongest growing woody plant on earth with one of the widest
ranging habitats of more than 1500 species thriving in diverse terrain from sea
level to 12,000 feet on every continent but the poles. It also grows the fastest:
clocked shooting skyward at 2 inches an hour. Some species grow one and a half
meters a day.
BAMBOO AS A HOUSING MATERAIL
Bamboo related industries already provide income, food, and housing to

over 2.2 billion people worldwide. There is a 3-5 year return on investment for a
new bamboo plantation versus 8-10 years for rattan. The governments of India and
China, with 15 million hectares of bamboo reserves collectively, are poised to
focus attention on the economic factors of bamboo and its protection. In Limon,
Costa Rica, only bamboo houses from the national Bamboo Project stood after
their violent earthquake in 1992. Flexible and lightweight, bamboo enables
structures to "dance" in earthquakes.
