Abstract
The production of conventional building materials such as steel, concrete, and brick causes severe exploitation of natural resources and emission of greenhouse gases. Therefore, alternative eco-friendly, sustainable, and inexpensive building materials are required. Bamboo is a natural material which can replace steel in various structures. Several studies have evaluated the potential of bamboo as a steel replacement in structures. This paper provides a literature review on the use of bamboo-reinforced concretes (BRC) in various countries.
