    Bamboo is one of the oldest building materials and grows faster than any other plant. It has a higher compressive strength than other common building materials like wood, brick, and concrete, and a tensile strength comparable to steel. Bamboo is a renewable and environmentally-friendly substitute as forest resources decline. It is adaptable, affordable, and can replace timber and other materials in structural and non-structural construction applications due to its rapid growth, strength properties, and ability to suit natural surroundings at lower costs than other materials.

    BAMBOO AS A BUILDING MATERIAL

    Bamboo is one of the oldest traditional building materials used by mankind. They are the
    largest members of the grass family and are the fastest growing in the world. Bamboo has a
    higher compressive strength than wood, brick or concrete and a tensile strength that rivals
    steel.

    This is a substitute building material, which is renewable, environment friendly and widely
    available, as the wood resources are diminishing and restrictions are imposed on felling the
    natural forests. Due to its rapid growth, its adaptability to most climatic conditions and due its
    properties, bamboo can suitably replace timber and other materials in construction and other
    works, which are cost-effective and can be successfully utilized for structural and non-
    structural applications in construction.

    Bamboo can be grown abundantly and that too a lower cost which makes it more economical
    and focuses on sustainable to fit into natural surroundings.
