Bamboo Reinforcement of Concrete - Pg 7 - 11

Published
references to the use of bamboo in reinforcing cement concrete
structures or parts thereof indicate that the practice has been followed
for some decades at least, in the Far East (China, Japan, and the
Philippine Islands).
During the 1930's several experiments were
carried out in Europe, particularly in Germany and Italy, to test the
performance of cement concrete beams reinforced with bamboo.
The most
recent, comprehensive, and readily available information on the subject
is to be found in the report of a series of experiments carried out by
and under the direction of Professor H. E. Glenn.
