| Summary: | Conventional construction materials are considered as exploitation to natural
resources. Thus, numerous alternative materials using natural or waste materials are proposed
for concrete production as a response for greener, renewable and biodegradable environments
with regard to sustainability. Natural fibre such as bamboo has been rapidly proposed for many
applications especially for concrete production in construction. In order to tackle the
environmental issues and focusing on sustainability, natural fibre of Beting bamboo is proposed
for partial replacement used as supplementary cementitious materials. Current study investigates
the partial replacement of coarse aggregate with Beting bamboo in concrete mixtures. The
outcome of the study discovers that through the mix design, replacing 5% by weight of Beting
bamboo is an ideal % to achieve concrete mixture for structural and nonstructural application.
However, with the increase % of Beting bamboo for partial replacement, the strength of the
concrete gradually decreased. |
