“…The strength of bamboo reinforced concrete can be improved by adjusting the shape of the bamboo rebar, such as the present of bark and node contribute the higher tensile strength up to 50% (Muhtar, 2021). Another study also shows the presence of notches and clamps can increase the bond-stress and flexural capacity, as well as reducing slip between the bamboo and concrete (Al-Fasih, et al, 2021) (Budi, et al, 2019) (Muhtar, et al, 2019). However, the utilization of bamboo as rebar is still under study, thus some scholars still oppose this trend because bamboo reinforced concrete still has low strength compared to steel reinforced (Nuraeni, et al, 2018) (Archila, et al, 2018) (Mali, et al, 2020), while some innovation brings to an improvement to the bamboo reinforced concrete (Karthik, et al, 2017) (Wei, et al, 2021.…”
