Abstract : Concrete is the most consumed material, with three tons each year used by each individual on the planet. Developers use twice as much cement in construction as all other building materials combined. Concrete has excellent compressive strength characteristics, but its tensile strength is low. Steel is generally used in reinforcement because of its high tensile strength. However, the use of steel as a reinforcement material is limited due to its high cost and its contribution to air pollution during the manufacturing process. As an alternative to address this issue, bamboo material has been utilized as a substitute for reinforcement in concrete. Bamboo is a sustainable material because it is natural, inexpensive, and readily available. In this research, the performance of bamboo as an alternative material in reinforced concrete has been evaluated. Tensile strength tests on bamboo have been conducted to determine its yield stress. The use of supplementary cementitious materials, such as fly ash, has seen consistent growth in recent studies as an economical and effective solution for partial concrete replacement. A significant challenge when replacing concrete is that supplementary materials affect concrete properties differently depending on various factors, such as the grade of concrete, the level of replacement, curing periods, and environmental conditions.
