Experimental Investigation of Concrete-Infilled Bamboo for Structural Performance in Compression for Low-Cost Building by Sam Bulolo, James Gowon Okuda, Michael Kyakula

“…A total of four samples of bamboo of five different lengths (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1 m) were prepared with concrete (concrete infilled) and without concrete for three different commonly used concrete grades (C12/15, C15/20, and C20/25) and the load-carrying capacity tested to determine its resistance under compression. Generally, there was a considerable improvement in structural performance in terms of load-carrying capacity when the bamboo culms were infilled with plain concrete. …”
