- Abstract
- As the fastest growing plant with high tensile strength, bamboo provides an excellent alternative material to replace steel reinforcement in a concrete structure. However, the bond of bamboo embedded in concrete is very poor due to its surface properties and swell-shrink behaviors, especially when embedded in ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPCC). Thus, this paper presents the experimental investigation on the bond performance of deformed and undeformed bamboo species of Bambusa vulgaris strips embedded in fly ash geopolymer concrete (FAGC). Undeformed bamboo strips with and without nodes were compared to deformed bamboo strips in a corrugated and Galvanized Iron (G.I) rolled wired form in the pull-out test to study the mechanical interlocking effect on the bond performance of bamboo strips embedded in concrete. The groove on the corrugated bamboo strip was made using a router machine, while the wired bamboo was produced by wrapping the G.I wire along the bamboo strip. The difference in groove and wire spacing of the deformed bamboo strip on the bond strength was also observed. The result showed that the geometry of the bamboo strip had a significant effect on the bond performance, with the deformed bamboo strip outperforming the undeformed bamboo strip. In addition, the utilization of FAGC could also reduce the moisture absorption by the bamboo strip. Thus, these results showed that using bamboo strips in FAGC is feasible, contributing to a promising approach for full utilization of bamboo and industrial waste products such as fly ash as construction materials.
