Abstract— Bamboo is one of the potential material as a substitute for steel reinforcement. Bamboo is very  cheap,  easily  available,  and  available  in  ample  quantity.  Bamboo  is  cultivated  in farm  by farmers. Bamboo is having very good mechanical properties which attract many researchers to use it as reinforcing material in concrete. From bamboo small thin strips were prepared. These strips were tied together in two directions to form a bamboo-strip- mat. All these strips while  making bamboo-strip-mat was tied together  with small thin Mild Steel wire to ensure their position in mat formation. Testing is done using bamboo- strip-mat as reinforcement in cement concrete prismatic section at bottom side. Concrete slab thus produced in laboratory were tested in flexure; results obtained were presented in this project. Bamboo strips were prepared from old age bamboo.
