Abstract - To reduce the cost of construction so that houses may be made affordable to common man of the society, in the present research work bamboo sticks had been provided as reinforcement in concrete beams in place of steel bars. Different shapes of cross section of bamboo stick such as circular, square and triangular were used as reinforcement. As the work was experimental in nature concrete beams reinforced with bamboo sticks as well steel bars were cost and tested under to concentrated load with the help of hydraulic jack. Steel reinforced concrete beam were tested to compare the result obtained for the bamboo reinforced concrete beam.

Key Words:  Bamboo Reinforcement, Concrete Beam, Tensile Strength, Dial Gauge, Hydraulic Jack Deflection and Crack Pattern.
