Abstract: The use of bamboo as a structural construction material is gaining traction primarily because it is a rapidly growing material and thus sustainable, and it has many positive engineering attributes such as its high strength and Durability. This work takes into consideration the alternate construction material for walling system by using Bamboo . In this project the one type of bamboo-based construction is examined and experimental results are carried out, thus confirming that this type of construction is a viable alternative for walling system for low cost housing.The goal of assessing bamboo’s potential to meet regional housing needs in a low-cost, eco-friendly manner.This increased civil society awareness on bamboo’s potential as a construction material.
