Definition of reinforcement

1: the action of strengthening or

encouraging something : the
state of being reinforced.

Mainly reinforcement use

Steel is an alloy of ferrous metal with 0.25 to 1.5 per cent of

carbon. Higher the carbon content, harder is the steel. Steel bars
of circular cross sections are mainly used as reinforcement to
strengthen concrete structures. There are three types of
reinforcing steel:
1. Mild steel
2. High Yield Strength Deformed bars (HYSD)/TOR steel and
3. High tensile steel.

BAMBOO
• Through research it has been found that some
species of bamboo have ultimate tensile
strength same as that of mild steel at yield
point.

• Bamboo is a versatile material because of its

high strength-to-weight ratio, easy workability
and availability.

• It can be used as Bamboo Trusses, Bamboo

Roofs Skeleton, Bamboo walling/ceiling,
Bamboo Doors and Windows, Bamboo
Flooring, Reed Boards, Scaffolding.

• Bamboo needs to be chemically treated due

to their low natural durability.

Strength Properties of Bamboo

It has also been found that bamboo acts very well in

buckling but due to low stresses than compared to
steel and due to it not being straight it may not be
very good.

Some specific properties of Bamboo are as given

below:

• Specific gravity - 0.575 to 0.655

• Average weight - 0.625kg/m
• Modulus of rupture - 610 to 1600kg/cm2
• Modulus of Elasticity - 1.5 to 2.0 x105kg/cm2
• Ultimate compressive stress- 794 to 864kg/cm2
• Safe working stress in compression - 105kg/cm2

Selection And Preparation Of Bamboo
• Use only bamboo showing a pronounced brown colour.
• Select the longest large diameter culms available.
• Do not use whole culms of green, unseasoned bamboo.
• Avoid bamboo cut in spring or early summer. These
culms are generally weaker due to increased fibre
moisture content
Preparation
• Sizing
• Seasoning
• Waterproof Coatings https://www.riverpoolsandspas.com/cost

Properties of Plastic

• Plastics have numerous properties that make them

superior to other materials in many applications.
• resistance to corrosion and chemicals, low electrical
and thermal conductivity, high strength-to-weight ratio,
colors available in a wide variety and transparent,
resistance to shock, good durability, low cost, are easy
to manufacture, resistant to water and have low
toxicity.

HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH- Fiberglass yarn has a high

strength-to-weight ratio. Fiberglass yarn is twice as strong as
steel wire.

LOW MOISTURE ABSORPTION-Fiberglass yarn has

extremely low moisture absorption.

COST-EFFECTIVE-Fiberglass fabrics offer cost advantages https://www.riverpoolsandspas.com/cost

compared to other synthetic and natural fiber fabrics.
