CONCRETE II

    4)   Plastic fiber reinforced concrete

        Not suitability of the type of concrete used in the seismic area

1)   Mass concrete

2)   prestressed concrete

    Concrete cannot withstand stretch, if the stretching force is   apply, it will crack and eventually will be break if the tensile force is too strong.

The figure shown about the cracking of the concrete

       BAMBOO REINFORCED CONCRETE

     Bamboo can be used in the reinforcing concrete. It can be chopped and added to concrete to provide a seismic strength. Therefore, it can be use as a earthquake resistance building structure.

the video shown that how the bamboo used as the replacement of steel during concrete making
