“…ductility of bamboo, its elasticity, superior durabillity when compared to steel, and its ability to absorb energy, have made it a fairly strong alternative for concrete reinforcement [39,40].…”

“…Similar to the production of laminated bamboo lumber, 3-4-year-old bamboo culms of brown colour are selected to produce bamboo bars. It is necessary to avoid using green culms of freshly cut bamboo from March to June since this type of bamboo absorbs more moisture and has a low strength capacity [39]. It should be noted that the bigger the diameter of the bamboo culm, the stronger it is [39].…”

“…This is also known as the bamboo drying process. This step is carried out to prevent insect and fungi attacks and to reduce problems that may appear during further processing of bamboo, such as warping or smoking [39,53,54]. The outdoor seasoning process is traditional and differs from oven drying, in which moisture is removed at high temperatures.…”

“…Many studies have looked into the effect of an alkaline environment on the durability of bamboo previously. According to the experimental results, the highly alkaline medium destroys the cells of lignocellulose materials, such as bamboo and wood, and promotes the best adhesion to the concrete mixture [39,[55][56][57]. To protect against insects, scientists have proposed chemical treatment with a solution of tap water and calcium hydroxide [39].…”

In light of the increasing demand for sustainable building materials, the effectiveness of bamboo utilization in various fields has become the object of scientists' close attention. The increased interest in bamboo is explained by its sustainable characteristics, which make it the most preferred material for environmentally friendly and costeffective construction compared to conventional ones. Applicability of bamboo is vast and diverse: from decoration and furniture to structural members and reinforcement. Due to the low price, rich resources, and high elasticity, bamboo culms have also been used as an alternative to steel reinforcement in concrete structures. Extensive research has been done to assess feasibility of bamboo reinforcement in structural elements made of concrete. This article discusses the mechanical properties of three types of structural bamboo reinforced concrete (BRC) beams. Existing original papers on the mechanical behaviour of structural BRC members were studied, and the fundamental properties including typical failure modes, reasons of failure, load-displacement relationships, and influencing factors were discussed and described. Observations and conclusions of the review will contribute to deep understanding of structural feasibility of BRC beams and serve as a base for future research.
