Evaluation of optimum fiber length of bamboo fiber reinforced concrete

This research deals with the experimental study of the behavior of bamboo fiber with different fiber lengths and to study its effect as fiber reinforcing material. The species of bamboo that used throughout this experiment are the same species which is Gigantochloa scortechinii or commonly known as...
